  2. GPU switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPU_switching

    The dedicated graphics cards consume much more power than integrated graphics but also provides higher 3D performances, which is needed for a better gaming and CAD experience. Following is a list of the TDPs of the most popular CPU with integrated graphics and dedicated graphics cards.

  3. Mobile PCI Express Module - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_PCI_Express_Module

    Mobile PCI Express Module (MXM) is an interconnect standard for GPUs (MXM Graphics Modules) in laptops using PCI Express created by MXM-SIG. The goal was to create a non-proprietary, industry standard socket, so one could easily upgrade the graphics processor in a laptop, without having to buy a whole new system or relying on proprietary vendor upgrades.

  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.

  5. Graphics card - Wikipedia

    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.

  6. Expansion card - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_card

    In computing, an expansion card (also called an expansion board, adapter card, peripheral card or accessory card) is a printed circuit board that can be inserted into an electrical connector, or expansion slot (also referred to as a bus slot) on a computer's motherboard (see also backplane) to add functionality to a computer system. Sometimes ...

  7. Graphics processing unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit

    The NEC μPD7220 was the first implementation of a personal computer graphics display processor as a single large-scale integration (LSI) integrated circuit chip. This enabled the design of low-cost, high-performance video graphics cards such as those from Number Nine Visual Technology. It became the best-known GPU until the mid-1980s. [9]

  8. MAC address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address

    A historical example of this hybrid situation is the DECnet protocol, where the universal MAC address (OUI AA-00-04, Digital Equipment Corporation) is administered locally. The DECnet software assigns the last three bytes for the complete MAC address to be AA-00-04-00-XX-YY where XX-YY reflects the DECnet network address xx.yy of the host.

  9. Adapter (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adapter_(computing)

    An adapter card or expansion card is a circuit board which is plugged into the expansion bus in a computer to add function or resources, in much the same way as a host bus adapter (see above). [ 3 ] [ 1 ] Common adapter cards include video cards , network cards , sound cards , and other I/O cards.
