Dell PowerEdge C6220 II Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
