Sony PCV-RX463DS Video Card
A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking.
Clues to watch for to know your desktop graphics card will need replacing
- The monitor displays stretched or elongated pictures
- The desktop freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always turn on when starting up
- A driver for the video card cannot install correctly
