video card

    (Or "graphics adapter", "graphics card",
   "video adaptor", etc.) A circuit board fitted to a computer,
   especially an IBM PC, containing the necessary video
   memory and other electronics to provide a bitmap display.

   Adaptors vary in the resolution (number of pixels) and
   number of colours they can display, and in the refresh rate
   they support.  These parameters are also limited by the
   monitor to which the adaptor is connected.  A number of such
   display standards, e.g. SVGA, have become common and
   different software requires or supports different sets.
