Lenovo ThinkCentre 9288 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A video card processes graphics 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 graphics card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are two types 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 not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking.
