A video card is in many ways a miniature computer inside a computer to handle video and graphics operations. The processor, memory, and circuitry of a video card are fine-tuned specifically for 2D and 3D graphical calculations and can provide a significant performance boost to the system. Video cards connect to the motherboard of a computer via PCI, AGP or PCIe expansion slots.
