Acer Veriton 7100 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer 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 sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general.
