Sony VGC-RB39CB Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, in general.
Signs your display card needs replacing
- Your display displays fragmented images
- Your Sony freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always come on when starting up
- A driver for the video card cannot install all the way
