  2. Nvidia G-Sync - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_G-Sync

    G-Sync is a proprietary adaptive sync technology developed by Nvidia aimed primarily at eliminating screen tearing and the need for software alternatives such as Vsync. [1] G-Sync eliminates screen tearing by allowing a video display's refresh rate to adapt to the frame rate of the outputting device (graphics card/integrated graphics) rather than the outputting device adapting to the display ...

  3. Screen tearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing

    Screen tearing [1] is a visual artifact in video display where a display device shows information from multiple frames in a single screen draw. [ 2 ] The artifact occurs when the video feed to the device is not synchronized with the display's refresh rate.

  4. Nvidia Optimus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Optimus

    Nvidia Optimus is a computer GPU switching technology created by Nvidia which, depending on the resource load generated by client software applications, will seamlessly switch between two graphics adapters within a computer system in order to provide either maximum performance or minimum power draw from the system's graphics rendering hardware.

    The rendered results are stored in a framebuffer, whose content is scanned by the display controller and sent to the screen. A free and open-source graphics device driver is a software stack which controls computer-graphics hardware and supports graphics-rendering application programming interfaces (APIs) and is released under a free and open ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_card

    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.

  8. Hardware overlay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_overlay

    Secondary displays require both hardware and driver support; some graphics cards may support overlay on the second display while their drivers may not yet support it (note: recent (July 2008) graphics chipset driver bugs can cause most video formats apart from mpeg2 to work on both monitors, and mpeg2 only on the primary with most players).

  9. Mesa (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesa_(computer_graphics)

    The first true graphics hardware support was added to Mesa in 1997, based upon the Glide API for the then new 3dfx Voodoo I/II graphics cards and their successors. [129] A major problem of using Glide as the acceleration layer was the habit of Glide to run full screen, which was only suitable for computer games.
