Sony PCV-RX640 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
Simple indications to watch for in a failing display card
- The graphics on your screen displays stretched or elongated pictures
- Your Sony restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always turn on when booting up
- The video card driver has issues installing like it should
