Dell OptiPlex 320 Video Card
Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, in general. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. A video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
