Apple Macintosh Performa 578 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, in general. A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed.
