Graphic cards and benchmarks

If you are a huge game player, a good graphic card is needed for your computer. 3D games with realistic computer graphics need a lot of graphic processing ability. For an integrated graphic card, it can't do all the job that is needed. What will happened is when you are trying to play a video game, there will be a lot of frame lost, and fps ( frame per second) will be lower than 10p. What you are running will become lag and can't flow well.
Famous graphic card brands are ATI and NVIDIA. NVIDIA is a little bit more expensive than ATI but it have better ability in some special cases. So I prefer NVIDIA better myself.
The other thing we need to know about is DirectX. Microsoft DirectX is a collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) for handling tasks related to multimedia, especially game programming and video, on Microsoft platforms. In a more understandable way to say it is a programming language for graphic  multimedia. Almost every Windows machine is based on that.
Heaven DX11 Benchmark is a bench mark specialized for DirectX 11. Heaven Benchmark is a DirectX 11 GPU benchmark based on advanced UNIGINE™ engine. It reveals the enchanting magic of floating islands with a tiny village hidden in the cloudy skies. Interactive mode provides emerging experience of exploring the intricate world of steampunk.It is the first DirectX 11 benchmark in the world, the original version was released at the moment of Microsoft Windows 7 launch in October, 2009. It can test test the gaming ability of your computer.
