Lenovo ThinkCentre 6239 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds 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 sitting in second place.
