Sony VGC-LT18E Video Card
All video cards computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. There are really only two kinds 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. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
