Lenovo ThinkStation 0568 Video Card
Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. All video cards computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
