Dell OptiPlex FX160 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
