Sony PCV-RX270DS Video Card
Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
How do you know when your display card is in need of a replacement?
- The monitor shows stretched or elongated pictures
- Your Sony crashes when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on when starting up
- A driver for the video card has issues installing properly
