Sony PCV-LX810 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. All video cards processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
