Sony PCV-RZ46G Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. A graphics card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Cues of a poorly performing graphics card
- The graphics on your screen produces lines
- The computer freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to turn on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card has issues installing like it should
