There’s a niche audience among consumers that appreciate computer graphics cards more than the average person. While this group is popularized as the gaming community, there are many others who appreciate superior graphics cards for reasons other than playing with high definition and rapid images. Graphics cards can improve visibility and generally make your user experience more enjoyable, whether you’re at your work-from-home-station or your gaming station. For a brief outline on graphics cards and how they work, read the article below.
How They Work
With an average computer monitor that has the regular resolution setting, the screen can display over a million pixels (for those unfamiliar, pixels are the tiny dots in your television that make up an image). When you turn on a computer and an image starts to show, the computer is tasked with determining what to do with every single pixel in order to create the whole graphic. It can achieve this with a transistor, which is something that takes binary data from the CPU.
The images you see on your monitor are made of tiny dots called pixels. At most common resolution settings, a screen displays over a million pixels, and the computer has to decide what to do with everyone in order to create an image. In order to achieve this, the computer needs to use the transistor, or a system that will take binary data from the CPU and convert it into a picture you can see on the monitor screen. This process will usually take place on the graphics card itself, with the exceptions being those cases where the computer has the graphics capability built into the motherboard.
To simplify this explanation, the process is much like different departments in an office communicating with each other in order to produce something. Different departments send requests for something to be made and another department follows up with and fulfills that request. In this case, the CPU works alongside software applications to relay data on an image to the graphics card. The graphics card can then determine how to utilize the pixels on the screen to produce an image, after which it can then send that data to the monitor via a cable.
There are different processes for different types of images. A 3D image, for instance, requires the graphics card to first make a wire frame out of straight lines. Afterwards, it fills in the remaining pixels for the image and supplements with color, lighting, and texture. Gamers like to utilize a good graphics card so that it can improve the experience of playing fast paced games.
In these cases, the computer undergoes this process about sixty times per second. If you attempted to play a fast paced game without the aid of a good graphics card, the task would be too much to handle for the computer.
