Asus M11AD-US007S Video Card
Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results.
