Lenovo ThinkCentre 9946 Video Card
A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
