Acer AcerPower F6 Video Card
A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. There are two types of graphic 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. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.

- The monitor displays lines
