Acer Altos G5450 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
