Sony PCV-RX670 Video Card
Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. All video cards processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
