Sony PCV-RZ26G Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. All video cards processes the input 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, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
How do you know if your display card is crapping out?
- The graphics on your screen displays fragmented images
- The desktop reboots when beginning a game
- The display does not show up when starting up
- The driver does not seem to install all the way
