Sony PCV-RS421 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of graphic 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 high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general.
What signals that my desktop video card is about to stop working?
- The monitor shows colors that are all wrong
- The desktop restarts when beginning a game
- The display does not come on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install correctly
