Sony PCV-L400 Video Card
All video cards processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.

- Your display depicts stretched or elongated pictures
- The computer restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
