Sony VGC-JS140N Video Card
There are two types 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. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
