Lenovo ThinkCentre 8108 Video Card
A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed.
