Acer Aspire M3920 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
