Acer AcerPower 8400 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. All video cards processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system.
