Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX300 S2 Video Card
A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
