Sony VGC-RA710G Video Card
Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.

A Sony VGC-RA710G video card is best purchased new due to possible wear on an older one. The Sony desktop will be happier if you parts safely online! Try to always purchase computer products from a reputable seller when buying parts online. It is always best to note the model number before buying a video card replacement.
