Sony PCV-RS431 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
