Lenovo ThinkCentre 8428 Video Card
At the moment, 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 spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. 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. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
