Acer AcerPower S461 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. 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, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
