Dell Alienware Aurora Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. All video cards processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. 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. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
