Tyan Transport GX21 B5350 Video Card
Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
