Lenovo ThinkCentre 8992 Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. All video cards processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
