Sony VGC-RA716G Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, in general. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard.

- Your display produces nothing
- The PC restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
