Sony PCV-RX761 Video Card
Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, in general. There are really only two kinds 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. A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
Major signs of a defective video card
- The monitor shows fragmented images
- The desktop freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not come on when starting up
- The video card driver cannot install properly
