Lenovo ThinkCentre 8424 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking.
