Sony PCV-L630 Video Card
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. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
Important hints the display adapter should be replaced
- Your display shows bits and pieces of the desktop
- Your Sony restarts when starting a game
- The display does not come on as you boot the PC
- The driver has problems installing all the way
