Acer Altos R910 Video Card
Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking.
