Gateway GR160 F1 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of graphic 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.
