The Video Graphics Array (VGA) connector is a standard connector used for computer video output. Originating with the 1987 IBM PS/2 and its VGA graphics system, the 15-pin connector went on to become ubiquitous on PCs, [ 1 ] as well as many monitors, projectors and HD television sets.
The NCR 315-RMC, released in July 1965, was the first commercially available computer to employ thin-film memory.This reduced the clock cycle time to 800 nanoseconds.It also included floating-point logic to allow scientific calculations, while retaining the same instruction set as previous NCR 315 and NCR 315-100.
Almost a full day was devoted to agreeing to name the standard "Small Computer System Interface", which Boucher intended to be pronounced "sexy", but ENDL's [11] Dal Allan pronounced the new acronym as "scuzzy" and that stuck. [12] The NCR facility in Wichita, Kansas developed the industry's first SCSI controller chip, the NCR 5385, released in ...
The modern DE-15 connector can carry Display Data Channel to allow the monitor to communicate with the graphics card, and optionally vice versa. [1] Being replaced by DVI from 1999 onward. DB13W3: Analog computer video, color and monochrome. Sun Microsystems, Silicon Graphics, IBM RISC, Intergraph and some Apple Computer computer workstations.
English: Generic block diagram of a GPU as found on modern graphics cards. The Wikipedia contains separate articles to many of the depicted components and used communication protocols. BIF: ISA (Industry Standard Architecture), VLB (VESA Local Bus), PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnec), AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port), PCIe
A modern consumer graphics card: A Radeon RX 6900 XT from AMD. A graphics card (also called a video card, display card, graphics accelerator, graphics adapter, VGA card/VGA, video adapter, display adapter, or colloquially GPU) is a computer expansion card that generates a feed of graphics output to a display device such as a monitor.
The idea of accessing a video card's memory directly resurfaced with the introduction of the Scan-Line Interleave (3dfx SLI) technology, although this technology is aimed at connecting two equally powered and complete graphic cards to produce a single, increased performance visual output, and not e.g. directly interfacing TV tuner cards.
NCR 304 computer system Camp Pendleton, California. The NCR 304 computer, announced in 1957, [1] first delivered in 1959, [2] [3] was National Cash Register (NCR)'s first transistor-based computer. The 304 was developed and manufactured in cooperation with General Electric, [4] where it was also used internally. [5] Its follow-on was the NCR 315.
