Sony VGC-RB34G Video Card
There are two types 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 separate video card, in general. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
