Acer Aspire Z5600 Video Card

Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
