Compaq 505B Video Card
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. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, in general. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
