Sony PCV-R547DS Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
