Gateway E-9425R Video Card
Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed.
