Sony PCV-R549DS Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of graphic 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. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Some clues of a declining video graphics card
- The monitor displays nothing
- The PC freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always show up as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver cannot install correctly
