Asus G10AJ Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
