Intel SC5200 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
