Compaq Presario SR1617CL-B Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. A video card processes graphics 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 card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
