Lenovo ThinkCentre 8165 Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A graphics card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
