Lenovo ThinkCentre 5498 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
