Sony PCV-LX910 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
What are some indications that my desktop video card is failing?
- The monitor produces weird colors or images
- The desktop reboots when starting a game
- The display does not come on as you boot the PC
- The driver fails to install all the way
