Asus CM6870 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
