	Graphics card - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The graphics card and display medium are able to communicate utilizing a variety of display standards.
		Graphics cards are both integrated into motherboards, and sold as expansion cards.
		A digital or analog monitor may be connected to the graphics card via a DVI connector or VGA connector respectively.

	Hercules Graphics Card - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hercules Graphics Card (HGC) was a computer graphics controller which, through its popularity, became a widely-supported display standard.
		The second page could be enabled or disabled by software; when it was disabled, the addresses used by the card did not overlap with those used by colour adaptors such as the CGA or VGA.
		The Hercules InColor Card (April 1987) included colour capabilities similar to the EGA, with 16 colours from a palette of 64.

	Graphics card Info - Encyclopedia WikiWhat.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		A graphics card or video card is a component of a computer which is designed to display images on some sort of display medium, most often a monitor utilising a variety of display standards.
		As was in the past, many graphics cards are standalone devices, attached to a motherboard via the ISA, PCI, VESA, or AGP busses.
		Conversely, sometimes 3D-graphics capibilities are not relevant to the choice of high-performance graphics card; 2D graphics and fine visual-quality fill specialised niches in areas such as medical imaging.

	Howstuffworks "How Graphics Cards Work"
		The four main components of a graphics card are connections for the motherboard and monitor, a processor, and memory.
		Like a motherboard, a graphics card is a printed circuit board that houses a processor and RAM.
		Many motherboards have integrated graphics capabilities and function without a separate graphics card.

	Review: Jaton Video-107AGP 3D graphics card
		The 107 is an AGP 2X card with 8Mb of RAM, and it uses Trident's relatively unknown Blade 3D 9880 chipset.
		Years ago, "Windows accelerated" graphics cards were a big thing, because they cut down on the waiting while sluggish Windows apps drew their complicated button-filled windows.
		AGP: The Accelerated Graphics Port is based on the PCI standard, but clocked at least twice as fast to accommodate the demands of 3D graphics.

	Diamond Viper II graphics card
		The card's been out for something like four months now - which is quite a long time, in the PC graphics world - and for all of that time, in big letters on the box and all over the Web site, it's said that the thing has hardware TandL.
		Other cards have a single, dual function output that looks like an S-Video connector; you plug in a little adaptor cable that terminates in an RCA socket if you want composite output (see my video guide here if you're wondering what these terms mean).
		Current hot 3D cards are famous for not working on older, cheaper motherboards with low-power linear voltage regulators, for instance, and there are lots of games that misbehave on one card or another, until a patch to fix them comes out.

	Spode's Abode - Graphics Card Overclocking - Worth It?
		Overclocking your graphics card will not turn your aging Geforce 2 into an FX5900, but it can be a good way of extending the life of an old card a little, or to squeeze every last drop of performance out of a new card.
		In the recent DirectX 9 graphics card round up, the Sparkle FX5900 and the Gainward FX5900 had a difference of 140mhz RAM speed, yet the difference in performance was only 172 3dmarks or around 3.6%, despite a 20% boost in clock speed.
		This was the fastest card in the round up and we managed to increase from 412mhz to 433mhz on the core but strangely, once again, nothing on the RAM.

		In today´s OEM computer market, graphics cards are often substituted with an integrated graphics chip on a section of the motherboard.
		Sometimes the graphics chip is located on the Northbridge chip, if present, and uses either its own dedicated memory or more usually a portion of the system memory (shared memory).
		The most powerful graphics hardware, usually geared towards 3D graphics for games, are typically built on to expansion cards.

		The graphics card was demonstrated as a conceptual model and the manufacturer did not demonstrate it in work.
		During the Computex Taipei 2005 show the company revealed its graphics card with both AGP 8x and PCI Express x16 interfaces, the board that the company later admitted was just a concept product and was not intended to be sold commercially.

		As reported, ATI R520 graphics card is not as compact as the company’s RADEON X800-series products, but is relatively long, about the same size or longer compared to NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX products.
		The voltage regulator design of what is allegedly the R520 XT-powered graphics card is much more complex compared to that of the RADEON X850 XT products, it involves a lot of load-bearing elements some of which require passive cooling.
		The graphics card which is claimed to be the top-of-the-range R520 XT employs Samsung’s GDDR3 1.26ns memory chips clocked at 1.40GHz.

	Matrox Graphics Card - Moss (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		What I didn’t know was that Matrox manufacturers a whole line of graphics cards and just because one graphics card may be Autodesk-approved, that does not mean all the cards built by that manufacturer are suitable for CAD work.
		The first thing any user should determine before they go out and buy a card is whether or not they have a video slot on their motherboard.
		My only complaint about the card is that the adapter doesn’t seem as tight as it could be.

		However, a previously tested PowerColor card with ATI's X800 XL chip and 256MB of memory managed a comparable 37 frames, and an ATI X850 XT Platinum Edition board with 256MB produced 45 fps.
		Results were similar in our Far Cry tests, where the 512MB board netted 64 fps, versus 62 fps for the standard X800 XL card and 67 fps for the X850 XT board.
