Acer Aspire RC500 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are two types of video 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. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
