Lenovo ThinkCentre M80 Video Card
A graphics card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
