Sony VGC-JS155J Video Card
Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of video 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. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general.
Signs of a declining video card
- Your display displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- Your Sony restarts when beginning a game
- The display does not turn on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card has problems installing correctly
