Acer Aspire M3900 Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. All video cards computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
