Sony VGC-RA837G Video Card
All video cards computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed.
