Gateway 9715 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. All video cards computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
