Lenovo ThinkCentre 9213 Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A graphics card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
