Sony PCV-RX554 Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking.
Simple warnings that your display adapter has gone bad?
- The monitor depicts stretched or elongated pictures
- Your Sony restarts when beginning a game
- The display does not show up as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card has issues installing correctly
