Lenovo ThinkCentre 7258 Video Card
There are two types of video 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. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard.

A Lenovo ThinkCentre 7258 video card is best purchased in brand new condition due to the wear on any older used one. It is always best to double-check the part number so you order the correct video card replacement. Try to always buy parts from a site you know when buying parts online. Your Lenovo desktop will thank you for thinking before buying.
