Lenovo ThinkServer RS140 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. 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. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
Easy warnings of a weak graphics card
