Lenovo ThinkStation 4105 Video Card
Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of video 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. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
