Lenovo ThinkCentre 9012 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
