At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
