Lenovo ThinkCentre 8164 Video Card
A video card processes the input 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. 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 video card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
