Compaq Presario 2000 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, in general. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.
