Dell PowerEdge 2500 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. A graphics card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
