Sony PCV-RS613GX Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard.
Indications of a bad graphics card
- The monitor displays fragmented images
- The desktop crashes when starting a game
- The screen does not always show up as you boot the PC
- The video card driver has issues installing fully
