Dell Dimension XPS GEN 4 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
