Acer Aspire X3950 Video Card
A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard.
