Dell Dimension 8250 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. All video cards processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
