Dell OptiPlex 160L Video Card
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. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
