Lenovo ThinkCentre 9182 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
