Sony PCV-RS411 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. 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. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general.
Major signs the video graphics card will need replacing
- The graphics on your screen shows vertical or striped lines
- The Sony PCV-RS411 reboots when beginning a game
- The screen does not always come on when booting up
- The driver does not seem to install like it should
