Sony VGC-JS450F Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Hints of a worsening desktop video card
- The graphics on your screen displays nothing
- The desktop crashes when starting a game
- The display does not turn on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card cannot install all the way
