Whether you are watching your favorite movies over the computer, playing massively multiplayer online games or just simply scanning or uploading pictures over the Internet; the quality and intensity of the graphics you experience is only as good as the video card you have installed.

A graphics card refers to any computer device or program that makes a computer capable of displaying and manipulating pictures. It is a gtx 580 computer component designed to convert the logical representation of visual information into a signal that can be used as input for a display medium. In simple terms, a graphics card is an integrated or expansion card whose main function is to generate output images to a display medium. Display mediums include monitors, LCD (Liquid Crystalline Display) TVs, High Definition (HD) TVs, and projectors.

Most of these graphics cards have added functions which include the following: accelerated rendering of 3D scenes and 2D graphics; video capturing; as TV-tuner adapter; decoding of MPEG-2/MPEG-4; ability to connect multiple monitors; and as TV output. Modern high performance cards are used for PC games purposes some of which are graphically demanding in nature.
