Acer Aspire X3300 Video Card
Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. A video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. A dedicated graphics card is required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
