Gateway ALR 8300 Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard.
