Lenovo ThinkCentre 9014 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
