Gateway GT4015H Video Card
All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are really only two kinds of video 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.
