Apple iMac G3 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking.
