The following is a list that contains general information about GPUs and video cards made by AMD, including those made by ATI Technologies before 2006, based on official specifications in table-form. Field explanations
iXMicro – produced video cards for Macintosh and Macintosh clones; MOS Technology – produced the VIC and TED line of graphics chips, owned by Commodore International; Number Nine Visual Technology – pioneer in the graphics industry, developed 1st 128-bit graphics processor; acquired by S3; Oak Technology – acquired by Zoran Corporation
On the Sinclair QL two video modes were available, 256×256 pixels with 8 RGB colors and per-pixel flashing, or 512×256 pixels with four colors: black, red, green and white. The supported colors could be stippled in 2×2 blocks to simulate up to 256 colors, an effect which did not copy reliably on a TV, especially over an RF connection.
Number Nine Visual Technology Corporation was a manufacturer of video graphics chips and cards from 1982 to 1999. Number Nine developed the first 128-bit graphics processor (the Imagine 128), as well as the first 256-color (8-bit) and 16.8 million color (24-bit) cards.
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.
Lists of graphics cards follow. A graphics card, or graphics processing unit , is a specialized electronic circuit that rapidly manipulates and alters memory to build images in a frame buffer for output to a display.
A video card or graphics card is a component of a computer which is designed to convert a logical representation of an image stored in memory to a signal that can be used as input for a display medium, most often a monitor utilising a variety of display standards. Typically, it also provides functionality to manipulate the logical image in memory.
