The PCjr had 64 KB of built-in RAM on the mainboard, and an additional 64 KB can be installed via a special card that plugs into a dedicated slot on the PCjr mainboard. [25] This 64 KB or 128 KB of base RAM is special in that it is shared with the PCjr video subsystem. TGA video modes use either 16 KB or 32 KB of RAM. [25]
Back of a CGA Video Adapter board, with the RCA composite output connector visible on the right. The Color Graphics Adapter uses a standard RCA connector for connection to an NTSC-compatible television or composite video monitor. [3] The connector on the card is female and the one on the monitor cable is male.
The original IBM EGA was an 8-bit PC ISA card with 64 KB of onboard RAM. An optional daughter-board (the Graphics Memory Expansion Card) provided a minimum of 64 KB additional RAM, and up to 192 KB if fully populated with the Graphics Memory Module Kit. [22] Without these upgrades, the card would be limited to four colors in 640 × 350 mode. [23]
Nvidia's proprietary driver, Nvidia GeForce driver for GeForce, is available for Windows x86/x86-64, Linux x86/x86-64/ARM, OS X 10.5 and later, Solaris x86/x86-64 and FreeBSD x86/x86-64. A current version can be downloaded from the Internet, and some Linux distributions contain it in their repositories.
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.
It must be noted that not all systems using 16-bit color depth employ the 16-bit, 32-64-32 level RGB palette. Platforms like the Sharp X68000 home computer or the Neo Geo video game console employs the 15-bit RGB palette (5 bits are used for red, green, and blue), but the last bit specifies a less significant intensity or luminance.
When all 16 bits are used, one of the components (usually green with RGB565, see below) gets an extra bit, allowing 64 levels of intensity for that component, and a total of 65536 available colors. This can lead to small discrepancies in encoding, e.g. when one wishes to encode the 24-bit colour RGB (40, 40, 40) with 16 bits (a problem common ...
The Tiki 100 uses an 8-bit RGB palette (also described as 3-3-2 bit RGB), with 3 bits for each of the red and green color components, and 2 bits for the blue component. It supports 3 different resolutions with 256, 512 or 1024 by 256 pixels and 16, 4, or 2 colors respectively (freely selectable from the full 256-color palette).
