Gateway GT5448E Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external 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. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking.
