<h1>Check out our range of Graphics Cards!</h1>

A Graphic card or Video card is an additional component to a PC which is used to create graphic images for a display device such as a monitor. Graphics cards are designed to work with specified graphic image formats such as MPEG-2 or MPEG4, or even output to a TV Monitor.

Often the video capability is built-in to the Motherboard through the use of a graphics chipset, often referred to as a video controller.The chipset will have a limited amount of memory capacity and will often use some of the computer system’s main RAM, therefore having an effect on overall system performance. For those wishing to run applications with high quality graphics including 3D graphics, then a plug-in dedicated graphics card will be required. The main difference with a dedicated graphics card is in the fact that these cards invariably have sufficient onboard RAM and an additional processor, making them almost independent from the main CPU and RAM.

Most dedicated graphics cards are connected by means of PCI or PCI Express interfaces which are available on most modern Motherboards for the purpose of adding additional functionality to the system. The onboard graphics chip can normally be disabled through the BIOS settings, reducing the resources needed from the main CPU and RAM.
