Lenovo ThinkCentre 9948 Video Card
All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
