Apple MD770LL-A Video Card
Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of video 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. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
