Do I need one?
Whether you need a graphics card depends on how you plan to use your PC and whether your processor has an integrated graphics unit. If your processor has an integrated graphics unit, it’s usually sufficient for everyday tasks like web browsing, office work, and videos. In this case, a dedicated graphics card isn’t required.
However, if you intend to play demanding games or perform graphics-intensive tasks like graphic design or video editing, a dedicated graphics card can be advantageous to significantly enhance graphic performance.

What should I pay attention to?
Make sure the graphics card is compatible with your motherboard. The graphics card connects through a PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) slot. The current standard is PCIe x16 4.0, where “x16” refers to the size of the slot, and “4.0” represents the version. The slot size must always match (e.g., x16, x8) - the version can vary. Consider these factors to ensure the graphics card functions optimally with your motherboard.
