Lenovo ThinkCentre 8106 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
