Gateway E-1400 Video Card

Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. 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. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
