Sony PCV-RX682 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed.
