Dell Precision Workstation 650 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
