Sony PCV-RS726G Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Key signs of an unhealthy video card
- The monitor displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The computer crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always come on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card fails to install all the way
