Sony PCV-RX760 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, in general. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
Some warnings to watch for in a failing display card
- The monitor shows bits and pieces of the desktop
- Your Sony freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card fails to install properly
