Dell PowerEdge 6950 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
