Sony PCV-RS315 Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. 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. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
