Apple Performa 570 Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
