Lenovo ThinkCentre 9144 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
