Gateway Profile 5 Video Card
Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, 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 you can see the results.
