Video CardThe video graphics controller card provides an interface between the monitor and the computer. Usually a computer comes with a graphics card that is integrated into the motherboard and many of the older cards had no on board memory and therefore relied on the computer processor to manage all video graphics. With an ever-increasing demand to run high-intensity graphic enriched software, video cards have advanced to meet the needs! Modern graphics cards now have their own on board (CPU) processor called a graphics accelerator and newer cards also have their own on board memory chips to store information. This speeds up the retrieve time for frames and backgrounds. Because, the video card has its own RAM and does not have to get images from the hard drive or system RAM.
