eMachines ET1160 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. 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. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. All video cards computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system.
