Sony PCV-RX280DS Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.
Hints your desktop graphics card needs a replacement ASAP
- The graphics on your screen displays lines
- Your Sony restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not come on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card fails to install correctly
