Sony VGC-LV150J Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
Hints of a barely functioning display card
- The graphics on your screen produces bits and pieces of the desktop
- The PC freezes when starting a game
- The display does not turn on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card fails to install fully
