Compaq Deskpro 1000 Video Card

A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking.
