Acer easyStore H342 Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking.
