Acer Aspire X5950 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
