Graphics card

A GeForce 4 4200-based graphics card

A graphics card or video card is a component of a computer which is designed to convert a logical representation of an image stored in memory to a signal that can be used as input for a display medium, most often a monitor utilising a variety of display standards. Typically, it also provides functionality to manipulate the logical image in memory.

Overview

As was in the past, many graphics cards are separate devices, attached to a PC motherboard via the ISA, PCI, VESA, or AGP buses, with recently-introduced PCI-Express expected to be prominent in the future.

Increasingly, however, the graphics card is no longer a "card" in the strictest sense, but is an integrated section of the motherboard dedicated to the same purpose. Integrated-graphics-displays usually have inferior 3D performance compared with dedicated graphics cards (due to using cheaper chipsets and sharing system memory rather than using dedicated memory); those who require high performance still prefer non-integrated solutions. Integrated graphics displays have gradually become more common since the mid 1990s as advancing technology makes them more practical. Anyone using their computer for office tasks, web browsing, email and such things will be fine with an integrated graphics chip.

The most powerful graphics hardware, usually geared towards 3D graphics for games, is still card-based. Their processing engines are sometimes called GPUs (graphics processing units). The longterm goal of graphics cards manufacturers (and game developers) appears to be realtime photorealistic rendering. New products and technologies are often touted to provide "Hollywood quality" - 3dfx used claims of movie-quality effects to promote their Voodoo 5 cards with T-Buffer technology, allowing motion blur, depth of field and full screen anti-aliasing effects. nVidia talked about "The dawn of cinematic computing" when introducing its GeForce FX chip with the Dawn technology demo. Others use the new technology for more impressive, but unrealistic rendering, such as cel shading.

Conversely, sometimes 3D-graphics capabilities 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. The original hardware accelerated 3D Tenderers come on a board that was used in conjunction with a normal graphics card. The card would add 3D graphics to the 2D rendering from the graphics card via a pass-through cable. The first consumer-level 3D hardware was the Voodoo by the now defunct 3dfx.

«Bill Gates, the Software King»

1. Most of the computers in the world use software invented by Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft Inc. of Redmond, Wash. Software is the set of programs that make computers — whether business or personal — perform various tasks.

2. Gates was born in Seattle, Washington, in 1955. As a boy, he was bright and curious. He was active in Scouting, reaching Life Scout rank in Troop 186. He especially loved hiking, camping and other outdoor adventures.

3. But Gates was obsessed with computers. While a student at Harvard University in 1975, Gates and a friend Paul Allen, developed a computer language for an early version of the personal computer. Microsoft was born. Gates went on to develop operating systems, such as MS-DOS and software programs.

4. Thanks to Microsoft. Gates is now one of the richest men in America. He is worth more than $8 billion

5. A technical wizard and a fierce business competitor. Gates sees great things ahead for computers. He says they "are really going to change a lot of things in the world — the way we work, the way we play and entertain ourselves and even the way we are educated.”

 

THE BINARY NUMBER SYSTEM

 

6. Early digital computers inspired by Howard Aiken's Mark I were huge, sometimes filling an entire room. That was because thousands of switches were needed to compute his binary number system.

7. In the binary number system, only two digits are recognized by the Computer: 0 when a switch is off, and 1 when the switch is on. Different combinations of those two digits can represent thousands of letters and numbers.

8. The binary number system is still used in today's computers. The difference is that the thousands of electrical switches have been replaced by one tiny solid-state chip than does the translations electronically. That's why your computer only fills up part of your desk, not your whole bedroom.

 

COMPUTERS IN YOUR FUTURE

 

9. Microsoft's Bill Gates and other computer experts see great things ahead. In the next few years, you will be able to sit at your computer and see high-quality video sent from any place on earth.

10. They predict you will also have a wallet-size personal computer. With it you will be able to store photographs, pay bills, get the news, send messages, see movies and open locks with digital keys.

11. At home on your TV size PC you will be able to see and talk with friends in other states, get medical advice, check magazine articles and pictures in a far-off library and order a pizza.

12. A computerized control system at home will regulate your lighting, temperature and security system.

13. Big dreams?

14. Perhaps. But engineers are working to make it reality.

 

From "Boys'Life"
