Sony PCV-RZ31G Video Card
Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
