Acer AcerPower 6000 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. All video cards processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general.
