Lenovo ThinkCentre 8414 Video Card
A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. There are two types 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 usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
