Lenovo ThinkCentre M50E Series Video Card
Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
