Sony PCV-RX580 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of graphic 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. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed.
Major symptoms the video card needs replacing
- The graphics on your screen shows nothing
- Your Sony reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to show up as you boot the PC
- The video card driver cannot install all the way
