Gateway E-2300 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general.
