A video card (also called a video adapter, display card, graphics card, graphics board, display adapter, graphics adapter or frame buffer^[1] and sometimes preceded by the word discrete or dedicated to emphasize the distinction between this implementation and integrated graphics) is an expansion card which generates a feed of output images to a display (such as a computer monitor). Within the industry, video cards are sometimes called graphics add-in-boards, abbreviated as AIBs,^[2]with the word "graphics" usually omitted.
