Lenovo ThinkCentre M55E Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
