Intel SC5250-E Video Card
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. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
