Dell PowerEdge R820 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. All video cards computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
