Sony PCV-RS710G Video Card
Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Hints the video card is in dire need of a replacement
- The monitor shows fragmented images
- The desktop crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not come on when starting up
- The video card driver cannot install like it should
