Sony PCV-RX861 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
