Dell OptiPlex 9020 Video Card
Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are really only two kinds 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. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
