Lenovo ThinkCentre 8142 Video Card
Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, in general. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
