Sony VGC-LT27N Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. 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 video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
How do you know when your display card is not working right?
- The monitor displays weird colors or images
- The computer freezes when starting a game
- The display does not come on as you boot the PC
- The driver cannot install fully
