Sony PCV-RS311 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
Elements of a failing display card
- The monitor depicts stretched or elongated pictures
- The desktop freezes when beginning a game
- The display does not turn on when booting up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing fully
