Sony PCV-RX4 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
General indicators that your display card should need replacing
- The monitor produces vertical or striped lines
- Your Sony crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to show up as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver has issues installing fully
