Lenovo ThinkStation 0606 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. All video cards processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. There are two types of video 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.
