A video card does indeed have its own memory and processor. The memory or RAM is specifically designed to store and quickly access the data required to display high-quality graphics. The processor or GPU is responsible for all of the complex calculations and operations required to generate the graphics on the screen.
- The RAM on a video card is usually GDDR SDRAM.
- The GPU on a video card is usually a dedicated graphics processor.
- The memory and processor on a video card are specialized for graphics processing.
Having its own dedicated memory and processor enable a video card to quickly and efficiently process graphics allowing for smooth and detailed visuals. Without these components the graphics on the screen would be less detailed and more choppy.

Do smartphone use memory cards?
No the memory is built in but you need a sim card
Is a graphics card memory?
Well the driver will take up very little hard drive space depending on the video card. Now all video cards have built in memory (RAM) but after the ammount that is on the video card runs out. It will start using the RAM on your computer. Just depends on the game you are trying to run. Also your Proccessor, RAM and Video Card all work together for running games. Hope this helped :)
Does the video camera DV 182 take memory card or video cards?
Any memory stick should do the job.
Does a Nintendo 3ds need memory?
It has built in memory, but SD cards can be used if desired.
Why sheard RAM in hardware?
Often times, motherboards that have the video card built-in will have to share video memory with system memory.
What uses are there for Memory Pro Duo cards?
There are many uses for a Memory Pro Duo cards. One use is for video game memory, another use is for data memory from a computer, or laptop. Pro Duo cards can be used for any number of memory storage.
What is graphical integration?
An integrated graphic processor as oposed to a discrete graphic processor. Graphic processor is the same as a video card. Integrated video cards: Integrated video cards are built-in to the system motherboard and use the system's processor (CPU) and memory to create graphics. They're fine for applications such as word processing and email and for the internet, but not great for gaming or other graphic-intensive applications. While integrated video cards can process some complex graphics such as 3D images, they have to share the CPU and memory with other programs. If the CPU and memory are overloaded or busy processing other information, it can really slow down the graphics. Discrete video cards: Discrete video cards turn up the performance compared to integrated video cards. They are separate, or discrete, from the motherboard and have their own processor, a specialized graphics processing unit, or GPU. They don't have to share the CPU with other programs. Discrete video cards include memory of their own, measured in megabytes (MB). Graphics memory is used by the GPU to accelerate the graphics on your monitor and make gaming, movies and other entertainment intensely realistic. In general, the more memory the graphics card has the better.

DDR3 graphic will work on DDR2 Board?
Yes, it should without a problem. Video cards have their own memory, and it doesnt matter if the video memory is a different type to the motherboard memory.
Does The Flip Ultra Take SD Cards?
No but it has 2gb flash memory built in.
Can you add a new video card to a laptop?
Very hard to do. Video memory is USUALLY built into the mother board. You can add SYSTEM memory and this will help with the video. VidTec
How much built-in memory does a Insignia camcorder have?
None. You have to have an SD card inserted into the camera to store photos and video. It does accept SDHC cards. I currently have a 4GB in my Insignia (Not the HD model) and it will record almost 3 hours of video on it.
