Sony VGC-RA910G Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. A graphics card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
Cues of a weak graphics card
- Your display depicts weird colors or images
- The PC reboots when beginning a game
- The display does not come on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver does not seem to install correctly
