Acer M11E Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
