A video card, video adapter, graphics accelerator card, display adapter, or graphics card is an expansion card whose function is to generate output images to a display. Many video cards offer added functions, such as accelerated rendering of 3D scenes and 2D graphics, video capture, TV-tuner adapter, MPEG-2/MPEG-4 decoding, FireWire, light pen, TV output, or the ability to connect multiple monitors (multi-monitor). Other modern high performance video cards are used for more graphically demanding purposes, such as PC games.

Video hardware can be integrated on the motherboard. However limitation to this integrated graphics chip often only occurs with early machines. In this configuration it is sometimes referred to as a video controller or graphics controller. Modern low-end to mid-range motherboards often include a graphics chipset developed by the developer of the northbridge (i.e. an nForce chipset with Nvidia graphics or an Intel chipset with Intel graphics) on the motherboard. This graphics chip usually has a small quantity of embedded memory and takes some of the system's main RAM, reducing the total RAM available. This is usually called integrated graphics or on-board graphics, and is low-performance and undesirable for those wishing to run 3D applications.

A dedicated Graphics Card on the other hand has its own RAM and Processor specifically for processing video images, and thus offloads this work from the CPU and system RAM.

Almost all of these motherboards allow the disabling of the integrated graphics chip in BIOS, and have an AGP, PCI, or PCI Express slot for adding a higher-performance graphics card in place of the integrated graphics. Despite the performance limitations, around 95% of new computers are sold with integrated graphics processors, leaving it for the individual user to decide whether to install a dedicated Graphics card.

Here is our guide for collecting all the thirteen death cards in CoD:World at war, or CoD5. They are suprisingly easy to find so you shouldn't have any trouble with them but if you do then please message us or something. We also did like we did in the last tutorial and put a clip of an easter egg with the copyright message. This time it's a clip of the ray gun so wait out for that. You can also see the ray gun in action when we are collecting the second death card. This is our first video in full widescreen which I am sort of a fan of. New widescreen videos look great but it does make the older ones look crappy but hey. Make sure you watch in HD otherwise youtube will make it look awful. It's not really recorded in HD but I rendered it in as high quality as possible. I mentioned in the credits that we have recently hit 5000 subscribers which is damn impressive and something we never thought we would achieve. Thanks guys and keep it up. Good Luck getting the achievement!
