Lenovo ThinkCentre 8773 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Currently, 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 resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
