Video Graphics Card
The 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.

The modern video cards provide enhanced support for 3-D graphic acceleration, color space conversion, dual porting, MGEG decoding, EPA Green PC Support, interpolated scaling, digital output for flat panel monitors and application support for powerful graphics software like InDesign, Quark and Auto-CAD.

A video card or graphic card is something similiar to a processor, which is designed to control the screen images or graphics on your personal computer.
The job of graphic cards is complex but is easy to understand its components and principles of it.

The graphics card decides how to use the pixels on the screen to create the image. It then sends that information to the monitor through a cable.

I believe Today’s complex games simply will not perform to their maximum potential if your computer is equipped with an outdated video card.

The graphics card accomplishes this task using four main components such as —
A motherboard connection for data and power.
A processor to decide what to do with each pixel on the screen.
Memory to hold information about each pixel and to temporarily store completed pictures.
A monitor connection so you can see the final result .

Some video cards offer added functions, such as video capture, TV tuner adapter, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 decoding, Fire Wire, light pen, TV output, or the ability to connect multiple monitors.

Hi Lyndsey,
Thanks for your comments.. I really appreciate the input.
Yes, I just picked up a new GeForce video card a few months back with the extra out ports and did the dual monitor setup. I really like having the two screens and have noticed also my productivity level has increased having the dual screens as well.
Thanks again, I hope you stop by again sometime and have fun blogging!

Cool! I still remember the old days when we had to put the computers together ourselves! Now I only have a notebook!

It’s always best to have a dedicated card. Also make sure that it isn’t sharing system memory…

The images you see on your monitor are made of tiny dots called pixels. At most common resolution settings, a screen displays over a million pixels, and the computer has to decide what to do with every one in order to create an image.

I lost my good PC and now have to work with a very bad Packard Bell with a substandard graphic card.
Now I do some design work. So can you imagine the hell? 3D stuff is out of the question, the computer crashes.
And music production also is out. The sound card fails. Luckily I am just a web designer not a music producer. The website I add is my latest work (done with a substandard graphics card!!!) grrrrrr !!!

This is a great blog on graphics cards. I remember the last time I had to put a new card in my pc and it was a fun time. I had to replace the power supply because I got a big card to do some on line gaming and that was only the start.
Now I am building a new pc and I want to get a great graphics card. I don’t know what to get. Does anyone on this blog have any idea? I want to get a high end one. What is an SLI card is that some thing new?

I think it’s gone a bit over the top with them over the years. You spend a fortune on a state-of-the-art graphics card to play today modern games. Then only to find that it’s obsolete in a year’s time.
I always to to squeeze as much as possible from everyone I buy just so I get my money’s worth out of them.

Graphics cards are not just for games. Everything on your computer screen is generated by the graphic card. So if you want to watch High Definition TV or Blueray movies a high end card can be of real benefit. If you use image manipulation software like Photoshop a good grahics card will process data faster. Provided that your processor and memory are also adequate.

I remember, the last graphics card I had was nVIDIA’s RIVA TNT, it was 32mb and due to over-heating, the heatsink came off the card, not sure why but since then I’ve been stuck with Intel’s built-in AGP.
