Gateway E-3200 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
