Compaq Deskpro 4000S Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
