Sony VGC-RB33G Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. All video cards processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
