Dell OptiPlex GX620 Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard.
