Sony VGC-JS240J Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system.
Clues of a failing display adapter
- The graphics on your screen depicts fragmented images
- The desktop freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always show up when booting up
- The video card driver fails to install all the way
