Sony PCV-RS322 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. There are two types 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. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
Simple indications of a barely functioning graphics card
- The monitor displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The Sony PCV-RS322 restarts when beginning a game
- The display does not turn on when starting up
- The video card driver has issues installing like it should
