Graphics Card

A graphics card, also known as a video card or GPU (graphics processing unit), is a hardware component in a computer responsible for rendering images, video, and animations. It processes and accelerates graphics rendering tasks by using its dedicated memory and processing power, allowing for smoother visuals and improved performance in graphics-intensive applications such as gaming, video editing, and 3D rendering. Graphics cards connect to the computer’s motherboard, often through a PCI Express (PCIe) slot, and are crucial for tasks that require high graphical fidelity and quick frame rates. The capabilities of a graphics card are typically measured by its clock speed, memory size, and the performance of its processing cores.
