Gateway EC14 Video Card
All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
