Lenovo ThinkCentre 9357 Video Card

All video cards computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
