Lenovo ThinkCentre 5554 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general.
