Lenovo ThinkCentre 7348 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. All video cards computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
