Asus AP110 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds 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. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general.
