Sony VGC-LT23E Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
