You can say a graphics card, video card, graphics accelerator card or display adapter card and the word can be replaced by board. It is also common to use the GPU stands for Graphics Processing Unit acronym although there is a slight difference. The video card itself is an expansion card that is placed on a (motherboard) to a computer and translates the information into graphics.
These plates are several units and the GPU memory, hence the mistake of calling them with that acronym. The GPU is a processor as the CPU but dedicated to converting the information into graphs that can be viewed on monitors or TVs. So this information as well as the signal. This brings us to the drivers, most IBM-compatible GPU which make installation simple and straightforward but there are different types of architectures (like a CPU) and this makes the same information is interpreted differently .
Controllers or "drivers" what they do is allow the GPU correctly interpret those signals, and allows the operating system to also recognize the board or video card. We often say that the video card is integrated into the motherboard but actually it is the GPU is integrated, it has certain advantages: first of all it is an expansion port or "slot" free, second is cheaper and third drivers come with boot disks on the system board. Disadvantages include, shared motherboard resources, especially RAM and usually have less capacity for lowering them.
