Dell PowerEdge 1750 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. All video cards computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
