Lenovo ThinkCentre 8717 Video Card
There are really only two kinds 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. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed.
