Sony VGX-TP25E Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
Subtle cues of a declining desktop video card
- The monitor shows weird colors or images
- The Sony VGX-TP25E crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not turn on when starting up
- The video card driver fails to install correctly
