Sony PCV-R553DS Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are really only two kinds of video 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. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
