Dell OptiPlex GX100 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. All video cards processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard.
Simple indications of a worsening video card

- The screen does not always come on when starting up
