Lenovo ThinkCentre A30 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. All video cards processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
