Apple Performa 6300 Video Card
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. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. All video cards processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard.
