A video card processes graphical data from a computer and generates a video signal that can be sent to a display such as a monitor. Its graphics processing unit (GPU) performs the calculations needed to transform three-dimensional models, apply textures and lighting, and determine the colors of pixels. The completed images, called frames, are then transmitted to the display.
