Graphics Cards

Graphics cards, also known as video cards or GPUs (graphics processing units), are specialized hardware components in computers responsible for rendering images, videos, and animations to be displayed on a monitor. They process complex graphical tasks and enhance the overall visual experience by offloading these responsibilities from the CPU. Graphics cards are essential for gaming, 3D modeling, video editing, and other graphics-intensive applications. They come with their own memory (VRAM) to store graphical data temporarily, allowing for better performance and speed. Modern graphics cards often support advanced features such as ray tracing, artificial intelligence-enhanced graphics, and high-resolution displays. They connect to the motherboard via interfaces like PCI Express and can vary in power, performance capabilities, and price, catering to different needs, from casual users to professional creators and gamers.
