Sony VGC-LT28E Video Card
Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
General indicators that your the video graphics card is dying
- The graphics on your screen displays colors that are all wrong
- The computer restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not come on when starting the computer
- The driver has issues installing properly
