Lenovo ThinkServer 1048 Video Card
There are two types 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. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results.
