Sony PCV-V210P Video Card
Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general.
Major symptoms your display card needs a replacement ASAP
- The monitor displays colors that are all wrong
- The desktop reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always come on when booting up
- The video card driver fails to install like it should
