Sony PCV-E201 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
