Lenovo ThinkCentre 9162 Video Card
Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
