Apple Macintosh LC 550 Video Card
Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
