Sony VPCL235FX Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are two types of graphic 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. All video cards processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Hints the video card has little time left
- The monitor depicts vertical or striped lines
- The computer restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not turn on when booting up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing all the way
