Dell OptiPlex 740-MT Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
