Dell PowerEdge R300 Video Card
A graphics card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
