Sony PCV-RZ54G Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Key signs of a weak desktop video card
- The monitor displays fragmented images
- The PC crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to come on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card fails to install like it should
