Sony PCV-RX581 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. A video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Main clues the display adapter is going out
- The monitor shows weird colors or images
- The PC reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always come on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card fails to install properly

A Sony PCV-RX581 video card should really be bought in factory new condition due to the wear on any older used one. Always purchase parts from a known seller if you purchase through a website. Your Sony PCV-RX581 desktop will be better off for thinking before buying. It is in your best interest to note the OEM part number before placing an order for a new video card.
