Acer Veriton 7800 Video Card
All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system.
