Sony VPCL22SFX Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. 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. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.
Important hints the display adapter is on its last leg
- The monitor depicts nothing
- The computer reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not show up when starting up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing fully
