Sony PCV-RXA842 Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. A video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general.
