Sony VPCL234FX Video Card
Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Symptoms your desktop graphics card is in dire straights
- The monitor produces lines
- The Sony VPCL234FX restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you attempt to boot up
- The driver fails to install properly
