Sony PCV-V310P Video Card
Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
