Sony VGC-JS250J Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
What red flags are there that my display adapter is crapping out?
- The monitor shows colors that are all wrong
- Your Sony crashes when beginning a game
- The display does not turn on as you boot the PC
- The driver cannot install like it should
