Sony VGC-LV180J Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed.
Important signs your desktop graphics card will need replacing
- The graphics on your screen shows lines
- The Sony VGC-LV180J reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always turn on when booting up
- The video card driver does not seem to install correctly
