Lenovo ThinkCentre 7178 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
