Sony VGC-RA930G Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A graphics card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general.
Subtle cues of a poorly working desktop video card
- The graphics on your screen displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The computer crashes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to show up when starting up
- The video card driver does not seem to install like it should
