Sony VPCL224FX Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Symptoms the video card will need replacing
- The monitor depicts nothing
- The Sony VPCL224FX restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up when starting up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing correctly
