Sony VPCL14 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. 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. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. All video cards processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
