Acer Altos G520 Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
