Lenovo ThinkCentre 6077 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard.
