Lenovo ThinkCentre 9169 Video Card
A graphics card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
