Dell PowerEdge C8220 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. All video cards processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. There are two types 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 new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
