Dell PowerEdge C8220X Video Card
Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking.
