Sony PCV-RX751 Video Card
A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard.
