Acer Aspire 7800 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, in general.
