Sony VGC-RA940G Video Card
There are really only two kinds 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. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking.
Hints of a bad graphics card
- Your display produces fragmented images
- The computer freezes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you boot the PC
- The driver has issues installing fully
