Lenovo ThinkCentre 6136 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
