Asus TS300-E5 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking.
