Dell Inspiron 537 Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A graphics card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
