Apple iMac G5 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking.

- Your display shows lines
