Sony PCV-RS300 Video Card
Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input 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, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
What are the indications that my display adapter is in need of a replacement?
- The graphics on your screen produces stretched or elongated pictures
- Your Sony freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not show up when starting up
- The video card driver has issues installing properly
