Sony PCV-E314DS Video Card
A video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Indications to watch for in a failing video graphics card
- The monitor produces colors that are all wrong
- The desktop reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not turn on when starting up
- The driver fails to install properly
