Sony VGC-LV170J Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. All video cards processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
General warnings of a weak display adapter
- The monitor shows nothing
- The desktop crashes when starting a game
- Nothing seems to come on when starting up
