Sony VGX-XL Video Card
Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
What are the signs that the graphics card is in need of replacing?
- Your display shows stretched or elongated pictures
- The PC reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always show up when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card has issues installing fully

A Sony VGX-XL video card should really be bought in factory new condition due to the wear on an older one. It is in your best interest to make note of the manufacturers part number so you order the correct video card replacement. The Sony VGX-XL desktop will be happier if you buy the right parts. Always get computer products from a site you know when you buy your parts online.
