Acer Veriton M262 Video Card
Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. All video cards processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
