1.What is a graphic card ?

-A graphics card is a type of display adapter or video card installed within most
computing devices to display graphical data with high clarity, color, definition and
overall appearance. A graphics card provides high-quality visual display by
processing and executing graphical data using advanced graphical techniques,
features and functions.

-A graphics card is also known as a graphics adapter, graphics controller, graphics

accelerator card or graphics board

2.What Components Does a Graphics Card Have?

 - GPU: The GPU is an actual hardware component, similar to a CPU

 Memory: Also known as VRAM, the graphics card comes with
dedicated memory to assist operations
 Interface: Most GPUs use PCI Express, found at the bottom of the card
 Outputs: You'll find various video outputs, often comprising HDMI,
DisplayPort, DVI, or VGA
 Fans/Heat Sink: All GPUs come with fans and a heat sink to help
dissipate heat build-up during usage
 Power Connectors: Modern GPUs require a six or eight-pin power
connector, sometimes even requiring two or three
 BIOS: The GPU BIOS holds initial setup and program information,
retaining data on voltages, memory, and more when you power down
your machine

3.Types of graphic card ?

-onboard and Discrete Graphics Card

-onboard : The onboard video card is a type of graphics card that is integrated with the central
processor CPU on the mainboard of the computer. The onboard video card uses CPU resources
and RAM cache to handle graphics-related things.

- Discrete Graphics Card: a discrete graphics card is any dedicated graphics card that is
installed in one of the motherboard's PCIe slots, including everything from budget solutions such
as the GTX 1650 to the high-end monstrosities such as the RTX 2080 Ti.
4.How does a graphic card work ?

A graphics card is primarily responsible for rendering images on a display, be that

photos, videos, games, documents, your regular desktop environment, a file folder,
and anything else. All of these things, from tasks that require tremendous
computing power, like a video game, to something we deem "simple" like opening a
new text document all require the use of a graphics card.

How to choose a graphic card ?

 Price: The cost of a new graphics card is always going to come first and
foremost. What's your budget for a new GPU? Ignoring the inflated
prices, you're still looking at $500 for an Nvidia RTX 3070 or $580 for an
AMD RX 6800 XT. These are mid-to-high end GPUs from the latest
generation.
 Availability: The availability of your preferred GPU will also have a
factor in your purchasing decision.
 Specs: Figure out if you need to splash a heap of cash on a high-end
GPU or if an entry-level, more budget-friendly model will do the job. Put
it this way—if you're planning on checking your emails, hitting up your
social media, and watching YouTube, you probably don't need to drop a
thousand bucks on a high-end model. But if you want to play games in
1440p or even 4K, you should definitely consider a top-end model.
 Compatibility: Make sure any potential GPU is compatible with your
hardware. Does it fit into your motherboard with the other components?
Do you have enough power connectors? Are you about to introduce a
massive bottleneck to your system?
