NEC Express5800 120Lg Video Card
A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. 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.
