Graphics (from Greek γραφικός graphia) are visual presentations on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, computer screen, paper, or stone to brand, inform, illustrate, or entertain. Examples are photographs, drawings, Line Art, graphs, diagrams, typography, numbers, symbols, geometric designs, maps, engineering drawings, or other images. Graphics often combine text, illustration, and color. Graphic design may consist of the deliberate selection, creation, or arrangement of typography alone, as in a brochure, flier, poster, web site, or book without any other element. Clarity or effective communication may be the objective, association with other cultural elements may be sought, or merely, the creation of a distinctive style.

Graphics can be functional or artistic. The latter can be a recorded version, such as a photograph, or an interpretation by a scientist to highlight essential features, or an artist, in which case the distinction with imaginary graphics may become blurred.

How important is a graphics card for graphics?
Q. I keep hearing two things: 1.) Graphics cards are the most important thing in a PC for gaming and graphics. 2.) Graphics cards are not the most important thing; it's all how the developers make the game, and the graphics card is just how the graphics are processed. Which of these statements is true?
Asked by Ryan - Tue Nov 24 18:47:38 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. In short, neither. The graphics card is the component that renders the image and puts it onscreen. So it would be reasonable to say that a graphics card is a key component in the gaming performance of your PC. But it will not be a useful component if not backed up by the RAM and CPU. Therefore, the most important thing for PC gaming is everything.

What graphics cards are compatible with my computer?
Q. I currently have an Acer Extensa 5620 notebook with a Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family. I am not familiar with graphics cards and this is the first I am getting. What graphics cards will fit and which one do you recommend for gaming?
Asked by Sean - Fri Apr 3 14:34:49 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. None. Its very difficult to install a GPU into a notebook, i've been a hardware specialist for 3 years and it is still difficult even when building a notebook from scratch, let aknown modding a prebuilt system from renowned company like Acer. You're only option is to buy a gaming notebook or looking into getting assistance from a hardware engineer to have a look at it him/herself

That . graphic. card is quite old. Upgrading it would probably increase your speed on some games and let you run at higher resolution aswell. If you want good resolution I would not recommend anything lower than 8800gt, its the same card I ...
