Dell Precision 690 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
