Lenovo ThinkCentre 9171 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. All video cards computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
