What is a graphics card?
Your computer uses a graphics card to display images on your screen. A graphics card is the most important component for demanding applications such as gaming, video editing, 3D modeling, and artificial intelligence.
More powerful graphics cards can render higher-resolution images faster.
Discrete graphics cards like those used for Alienware and G Series computers include their own dedicated graphics processing unit (GPU) and memory. As a result, they deliver better performance.
