Dell PowerEdge R210 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. There are really only two kinds 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. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
