Apple Macintosh Performa 575 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer 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 dedicated video card to be added to the system. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking.
