Lenovo ThinkCentre 6076 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
