Sony VGC-LT35E Video Card
Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A dedicated graphics card is required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general.
