Intel SR1550ALSAS Video Card
A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
