Acer Altos G330 Video Card
All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
