Dell Inspiron 560S Video Card
Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of graphic 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. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
Some warnings your desktop graphics card needs a replacement ASAP
