Compaq LTE 5400 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules 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 dedicated video card to be added to the system. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.
