Sony PCV-RX550 Video Card
Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
