Lenovo X3650 M3 Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
