video card

Technical. The piece of hardware that stores a graphics processor used by a computer to render and output a high-quality video signal on a monitor or television.

Example: A large number of PCs in the office didn’t have updated video cards, and therefore couldn’t run the latest F.E.A.R. expansion pack.

Wrong: 3D accelerator, 3D-accelerated, graphic accelerator, graphics card, videocard, video-card.
