Sony PCV-RX741 Video Card
Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. 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.
Major indications the video graphics card is in need of replacing
- Your display shows stretched or elongated pictures
- The Sony PCV-RX741 restarts when starting a game
- Nothing seems to turn on when starting up
- A driver for the video card fails to install correctly
