Sony VGC-RM1 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard.
Simple signals the video graphics card will eventually need to be replaced
- The monitor produces colors that are all wrong
- The PC freezes when beginning a game
- The display does not turn on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card has problems installing correctly
