Asus TS300-PS4 Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
