Lenovo ThinkCentre 8705 Video Card
Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
