Lenovo ThinkCentre 7339 Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. 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. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
