Here you will learn about Video
Adapter.
Video Adapter
Many computers come with video
built into the motherboard. However, many motherboards don't have built-in
video, and some that do also have AGP slots for additional or replacement video
adapters.
Video Adapter Overview
A computer video adapter is placed
in the motherboard, where it transfers video signals through a cable to your
monitor. The video adapter can either be built into the motherboard or be a
separate card that is placed in either the AGP or PCI-Express Slot.
VGA Card is the one sending the
monitor signal to the monitor.
The computer graphics cards major
job in a computer is to convert graphic patterns into signals for the monitor's
screen. However in recent times as the graphics card has become more advanced
it has taken some of the jobs previously assigned with the CPU and through a
graphics pipeline adds 2D and 3D effects and it also adds textures.
How to Choose a Video Adapter
The VGA Card price will change on:
VGA Card Processor
VGA Card Ram capacity
Ram type of VGA Card
The best way to see what video
adapter to buy is to consider how you're using your computer now. There are
several categories:
Server
If you're using your computer as a
mail server, FTP server, print server, or even a game server, you definitely do
not need a high-end video card. What you need is a simple, no-frills low-end
video card.
Simple Applications
Say you're using the PC for simple
applications only, for example, word processing, email or web surfing. Again,
you do not need the best video card out there. A cheap and decent one will do
the trick.
Complex Applications
If you need to perform more
complex tasks like 3D computer aided design or video editing, it will make more
sense to go for a heavy duty card. Screen resolution and image quality tend to
be important factors for this type of work. Look for a video card whose
processor which supports a high screen resolution, with ample graphics memory.
General Games
If you'll only play simple games
like Minesweeper, Reverse or Backgammon, then my advice is to save your money
and just get a simple video card. No need for the latest 3D graphics gizmo.
