Dell OptiPlex 3011 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. All video cards processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
