Compaq 6010AP Video Card
A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds 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 dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard.
