The video card is an expansion card that allows the computer to send graphic information to a video display device, such as a monitor, TV, or projector.
How does a graphics card work? GPUs and graphics cards explained.
There are a lot of companies that produce video cards, but almost all of them have a graphics processing unit (GPU) from NVIDIA Corporation or AMD.
A video card is a rectangular piece of computer hardware with many contacts on the bottom of the card and one or more ports on the side for connecting to displays and other devices.
The video card is installed in an expansion slot on the motherboard. Although most video cards are PCIe format, they also come in other formats, including PCI and AGP. These additional formats are older standards and do not communicate with the CPU and other components as quickly as PCIe.
