Do Apple Mac Book Pros come with a graphics/ video card?

I'm buying the latest 13 inch Apple Mac Book Pro, but i'm also wanting to buy PC games compatible with a Mac.... Most PC games require a graphics or video card.... Does an Apple Mac Book Pro come with a graphics card already on it or do I have to buy one separately to be able to play games like Sims 3|||If they didn't have a video "card", they wouldn't be able to display anything on the screen.



The details of the graphics chips they are are on the tech specs page on the apple website: http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs-13… (Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory).



As they are laptops, you can't fit a replacement graphics card - there isn't room.



Note that you'll need to get Mac versions of any games you want to play, or install Windows on the Mac.|||The current generation of Macbook Pro 13 has an Intel HD 3000 for graphics. While this is not a gaming GPU, and is considered pretty much "entry level" in power, it is capable of running simple to mid level graphics on games currently. It can handle Sims 3 fine. The Macbook Pro 15 and 17 have actual dedicated AMD/ATI Radeon GPUs which are much better for gaming.. but the Intel HD 3000 can handle most games, you just have to run smaller resolutions and less pretty graphics options inside the game sometimes. In the years to come you'll be pretty much running all newer games on very low settings in order to play.



Playing games made for Mac OS X is easy (like Sims 3), but if you want to run games made only for MS Windows, you can still do it, but it will be more difficult.



You can use Bootcamp assistant (already on your Mac) to set up a dual boot and buy a licensed copy of Windows and set it up where you can run either Mac OS X or Windows when you turn on the machine. When booted up into Windows, you won't be able to access Mac OS X, but it will be just like a normal Windows PC.



Myself, I only boot into Windows to play a game if I have no choice in the matter. Many games you can find 3rd party hobbyist ports of, or port them yourself... Theres a good community that deals with that sort of thing over on the forums at The Porting Team... heres a few more links about things like that.
