Sony PCV-W30 Video Card
Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.
What red flags are there that my desktop video card is about to stop working?
- The graphics on your screen displays weird colors or images
- The desktop freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up as you attempt to boot up
- The driver has issues installing correctly
