At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. 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.
