Sony PCV-RX742 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are two types 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. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard.
General warnings of a poorly performing desktop video card
- The monitor displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The computer reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always come on as you boot the PC
- The driver has problems installing correctly
