Sony PCV-RX790G Video Card
Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. There are two types of video 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. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. A graphics card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
What are the signs that the desktop video card is crapping out?
- The monitor shows colors that are all wrong
- Your Sony freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always turn on when booting up
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install correctly
