Dell OptiPlex SX280 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are two types 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. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
