Dell OptiPlex 390 Video Card
A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, in general. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
