Sony PCV-RZ49 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed.
What symptoms are present when the video graphics card has to be replaced?
- The monitor depicts fragmented images
- The computer reboots when starting a game
- Nothing seems to come on when starting up
- The driver has problems installing all the way
