Lenovo ThinkCentre 8160 Video Card
Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
