Dell OptiPlex GX240 Video Card
Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Currently, nVidia rules 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 added to the system. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are really only two kinds of graphic 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. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
