Sony VGC-JS410F Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system.
Main clues the video graphics card will need replacing
- The graphics on your screen depicts nothing
- The computer reboots when beginning a game
- The display does not show up when starting up
- The video card driver fails to install correctly
