Sony PCV-RZ51 Video Card
All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. 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. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed.
Major symptoms the video card is in dire straights
- Your display produces weird colors or images
- The computer crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always turn on when starting the computer
- The video card driver fails to install all the way
