Dell OptiPlex GX400 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. All video cards processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
