Lenovo ThinkServer TD230 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. All video cards processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
