Lenovo ThinkCentre 9210 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
