Lenovo ThinkCentre 7066 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed.
