Dell Inspiron 546 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. A graphics card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results.
