Dell Inspiron 580S Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard.
