Acer Aspire M1610 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
