Sony PCV-RX780G Video Card
All video cards processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. There are really only two kinds of graphic 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. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Main clues your desktop graphics card will need to be replaced
- The monitor produces fragmented images
- The PC freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to come on when starting up
- The driver fails to install like it should
