Sony PCV-RX820 Video Card
A video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my display adapter is in need of replacing?
- The graphics on your screen produces fragmented images
- Your Sony reboots when starting a game
- The screen does not always show up as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install fully

A Sony PCV-RX820 video card is going to be better brand new because of wear and tear on any older used one. Always purchase electronic parts from a well-known website when buying via the internet. It is in your best interest to re-check the part number before placing an order for a new video card. The Sony PCV-RX820 will be happier if you buy the right parts.
