Sony PCV-RS Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
