Sony PCV-RX740 Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
Major symptoms the display adapter will need to be replaced
- The graphics on your screen shows stretched or elongated pictures
- The computer reboots when beginning a game
- The screen does not always come on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install all the way
