Lenovo ThinkCentre A55 Video Card
Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
