Requested move 22 July 2021

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Video cardGraphics card – Graphics card is the more widely used term now and has been for a while, used by manufacturer like Nvidia and in media coverage(in the article references, 19 headlines use graphics card, while one uses video card), as well as Amazon. Both are still used, but graphics card clearly is the dominant term now.

Even on Wikipedia the string "graphics card" is used about twice as much as "video card". On articles about modern products the term graphics card is used overwhelmingly. jonas (talk) 12:05, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, graphics card is the current term. 4throck (talk) 16:47, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Nvidia GeForce

Nvidia GeForce 106.76.198.111 (talk) 12:18, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading graphic?

The graphic for Classical desktop computer architecture with a distinct graphics card over PCI Express is somewhat misleading:

  1. It illustrates the IOMMU being located in the GPU.
  2. It seems as if the IOMMU translates Virtual GPU memory to graphics memory.

I think both are untrue; in reality:

  1. The IOMMU is located in the CPU.
  2. It translates virtual GPU memory to system memory. Danieln82 (talk) 22:05, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Comparison of video cards" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Comparison of video cards and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 December 9 § Comparison of video cards until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Too PC-centric

This article could use a thorough revision to include graphics cards from other platforms than PC. Also, there is the issue that these are differentiated from integrated graphics which is not really useful. —DIYeditor (talk) 13:45, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I feel this article should be moved to a new article "Computer graphics card", that is "computer GC" should have a dedicated article (but not this one), while this should be more general. Setenzatsu.2 (talk) 03:29, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure there is any other kind of graphics card than a computer graphics card, but there is integrated graphics of all varieties, which are not cards, and there are graphics cards on many kinds of computers other than PC compatibles. —DIYeditor (talk) 12:57, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In consoles?

Not sure if it's the same thing, definitely falls under the same umbrella, but there were things like MPEG-2 video card add on for atari jaguar. The article is exclusively PC oriented. Setenzatsu.2 (talk) 03:23, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

is a computer expansion card? is it always?

integrated graphics: video hardware can be integrated into the motherboard, CPU... Can it then be called an expansion card?? Setenzatsu.2 (talk) 03:31, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
