Lenovo ThinkStation 4157 Video Card
Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
