Sony PCV-E518DS Video Card
Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. All video cards computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
