Lenovo ThinkCentre A61E Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. All video cards computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be added to the system.
