  2. Video BIOS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_BIOS

    Generic components of a graphics card. Note that the VGABIOS is a separate chip located on the graphics card, and not part of the GPU. Practically all processing units require basic initialization, not just GPUs. Video BIOS is the BIOS of a graphics card in a (usually IBM PC-derived) computer. It initializes the graphics card at

  3. Timeout Detection and Recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeout_Detection_and_Recovery

    It detects response problems from a graphics card (GPU), and if a timeout occurs, the OS will attempt a card reset to recover a functional and responsive desktop environment. However, if the attempt was unsuccessful, it results in the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). The recovery tries to mitigate the scenario where an end user superfluously ...

  4. RivaTuner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RivaTuner

    RivaTuner is a freeware overclocking and hardware monitoring program that was first developed by Alexey Nicolaychuk in 1997 [1] for the Nvidia video cards. It was a pioneering application that influenced (and in some cases was integrated into) the design of subsequent freeware graphics card overclocking and monitoring utilities.

  5. GPU switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPU_switching

    The discrete graphics card is usually installed onto the graphics card slot such as PCI-Express and the integrated graphics is integrated onto the CPU itself or occasionally onto the Northbridge. [ citation needed ] The Northbridge is the most responsible for switching between GPUs.

  6. Computer fan control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_fan_control

    By connecting one or both wires to a different voltage, the voltage the fan receives will be different from the default 12 V the fan was designed for. Increasing the voltage [ 4 ] over the default 12 V can be achieved by e.g. connecting the −12 V or −5 V power line instead of the ground wire in the fan connector, and by connecting the 5 V ...

  7. Windows Display Driver Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Display_Driver_Model

    IOMMU hardware-based GPU isolation support, increasing security by restricting GPU access to system memory. GPU paravirtualization support, enabling display drivers to provide rendering capabilities to Hyper-V virtualized environments. Brightness, a new interface to support multiple displays that can be set to calibrated nit-based brightness ...

  8. GeForce 3 series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_3_series

    The GeForce 3 GPU (NV20) has the same theoretical pixel and texel throughput per clock as the GeForce 2 (NV15). The GeForce 2 Ultra is clocked 25% faster than the original GeForce 3 and 43% faster than the Ti200; this means that in select instances, like Direct3D 7 T&L benchmarks, the GeForce 2 Ultra and sometimes even GTS can outperform the GeForce 3 and Ti200, because the newer GPUs use the ...

  9. GeForce RTX 30 series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_30_series

    The GeForce 30 series is a suite of graphics processing units (GPUs) developed by Nvidia, succeeding the GeForce 20 series.The GeForce 30 series is based on the Ampere architecture, which features Nvidia's second-generation ray tracing (RT) cores and third-generation Tensor Cores. [3]
