Dell XPS 410 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking.
