Sony VPCL22DFX Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. All video cards processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
