Acer Aspire M5810 Video Card
All video cards processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics 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.
