Dell Vostro 260S Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking.
