Sony VPCL233GX Video Card
Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system.
Clues to watch for to know the display adapter is in dire need of a replacement
- The monitor displays colors that are all wrong
- Your Sony restarts when starting a game
- The display does not show up when booting up
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install all the way
