Lenovo ThinkCentre 8991 Video Card
Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, in general. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
