Acer Aspire X1300 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. All video cards computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general.
