All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general.
