Lenovo ThinkStation S10 Video Card
Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. 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. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
