Compaq ProLiant 1850R Video Card
Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
