graphics adaptor
(Or "graphics adapter", "graphics card",
"video adaptor", etc.) A circuit board fitted to a computer,
especially an {IBM PC}, containing the necessary {video
memory} and other electronics to provide a {bitmap display}.
Adaptors vary in the {resolution} (number of {pixels}) and
number of colours they can display, and in the {refresh rate}
they support. These parameters are also limited by the
{monitor} to which the adaptor is connected. A number of such
{display standards}, e.g. {SVGA}, have become common and
different {software} requires or supports different sets.
