Sony VGX-TP1 Video Card
All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. 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. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
