Asus AP1600R Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
