Dell Inspiron 20 3048 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. All video cards processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds 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. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking.
