Sony VGC-RB40 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. All video cards computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
