Dell OptiPlex GX270 Video Card
All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. 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. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
