Dell Vostro A100 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are two types of video 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. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general.
