Sony VGC-RA842G Video Card
Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
