Sony PCV-RX360DS Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
