Dell Alienware Aurora R4 Video Card
Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. All video cards computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
