Dell Inspiron 545 Video Card
Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. 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. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
