Lenovo ThinkCentre 9949 Video Card
Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are two types of video 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. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, in general. All video cards computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.
