Lenovo ThinkCentre 9646 Video Card
Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
