Lenovo ThinkCentre M76 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
