Lenovo xSeries 350 8682 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
