Lenovo ThinkCentre 8800 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, in general. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds 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 usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard.
