Dell OptiPlex 7020 Video Card
All video cards computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general.
