Gateway GT115 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. There are two types of graphic 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. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
