Sony PCV-LX900 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Major warnings your desktop graphics card is going out
- Your display produces bits and pieces of the desktop
- Your Sony crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always show up when starting up
