Lenovo ThinkServer TD100 Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
