Dell PowerEdge 2950 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of video 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.
