Lenovo ThinkStation 7783 Video Card

Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
