Apple Power Mac G5 Video Card

Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. All video cards computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
