Lenovo ThinkCentre 8107 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
