Asus AP130-D Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
