Apple Macintosh 6360 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, in general. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
