Dell Dimension 9150 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. All video cards computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
