What is a Graphics Card?

graphics card is a device connected to the expansion slot of the motherboard in
our computer whose main and basic function is to show or render the output
display, to show the image on the monitor.
Whatever
work we do on the computer, is basically visible on the monitor or an output
device, and the device that works to show this output device is the Graphics
card. Its main work is to render, process, image, and video, that is, in one word,
process, handle, and render all kinds of graphical data is the work of a graphics
card.
Everything
we see on the monitor is delivered to the output device by the graphics card. If
there is no graphics card in the system, no signal will come to the monitor,
even though the computer will start at 100% in the background, but we will not
be able to see any graphical data because there is no device to process it. Its
main function is to convert bits/bytes to graphical data or graphics files.
Although
the general definition above states that a graphics card is an expansion card
that is attached to the computer via the motherboard, this is not always true, only applies to dedicated or discrete graphics cards, as in many cases the
graphics card is directly integrated into the processor. , that is, the
Graphics Processing Unit or GPU is connected or integrated with the processor.
In this case, the GPU is connected to the PC without using the expansion slot.
