Lenovo ThinkCentre M83 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
