Lenovo ThinkCentre 7373 Video Card
There are two types 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. All video cards processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
