Sony PCV-E203 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
