Lenovo ThinkStation 6427 Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
