Lenovo ThinkStation 4272 Video Card
Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of graphic 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.
