Sony PCV-RX760P Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. 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. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
Key symptoms of a failing desktop video card
- The graphics on your screen produces stretched or elongated pictures
- The PC restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up as you boot the PC
- The video card driver does not seem to install like it should
