Sony PCV-RX752 Video Card
Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
