Lenovo ThinkCentre 9851 Video Card
All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
