Dell Dimension 4500S Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. There are two types 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. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
