Lenovo ThinkCentre 8116 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of graphic 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. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, in general. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
