Sony PCV-RX460 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are two types 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. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
General warnings of a defective video card

- The PC crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to come on when starting the computer
- The video card driver has problems installing like it should
