Sony VPC-J115FX-B Video Card
Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
What are the indications that my video graphics card has gone bad?
- The monitor displays fragmented images
- The computer freezes when beginning a game
- The display does not come on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver has problems installing all the way
