Acer Aspire 6800 Video Card
All video cards processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. 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. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed.
