Asus CM6830 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general.
