Sony PCV-RX850 Video Card
A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a 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 in second.
Indications of a deteriorating display card
- The monitor produces stretched or elongated pictures
- The PC reboots when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on when starting up
- The driver cannot install like it should
