Sony PCV-RX260DS Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. A video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard.
What happens when my display card is in need of replacing?
- The monitor depicts colors that are all wrong
- The PC reboots when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to come on when starting up
- The video card driver does not seem to install fully
