Best Answer

Video cards do not normally use a BIOS.


Video cards for Windows based personal computers generally supply BIOS support information and code on a read only memory chip (ROM or Programmable ROM) on the video card. It is usually processed and loaded during the boot process. Because it has machine language code, will only work on an computer compatible with the Intel based machine instruction set.
