Sony PCV-RS530G Video Card
A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
What to see if the video graphics card has gone bad?
- The graphics on your screen shows lines
- Your Sony freezes when starting a game
- Nothing seems to come on when booting up
- The video card driver cannot install all the way
