Dell PowerEdge 400SC Video Card
Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
