Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge 3396 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of video 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. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
