Lenovo ThinkServer TD200 3826 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
