Lenovo ThinkCentre 9695 Video Card
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 will never be better than a separate video card, in general. A video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
