Lenovo X3200 M3 Video Card
There are really only two kinds 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. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.
