Asus CM1740 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
