Dell Alienware Aurora R2 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
