Sony PCV-W20 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
