Acer AcerPower SC Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
