Lenovo ThinkCentre 9136 Video Card
A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system.
