Sony PCV-RX791 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
Major clues the video card needs replacing
- Your display shows lines
- The desktop crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not come on when starting up
- The driver fails to install all the way
