Lenovo ThinkCentre 8086 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. 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. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard.
