Sony PCV-RS510 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Symptoms of a faulty desktop video card
- The graphics on your screen depicts vertical or striped lines
- The PC restarts when beginning a game
- The display does not come on when booting up
