Dell PowerEdge 6850 Video Card
Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A graphics card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
