Lenovo ThinkCentre 8189 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic 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.
