Sony PCV-RX470DS Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Symptoms the video card is failing
- Your display produces colors that are all wrong
- The PC restarts when starting a game
- Nothing seems to show up when starting the computer
