Dell OptiPlex XE2 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic 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. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
