gpu is a graphical processing unit which ables you run high definitions graphics on your PC, which are the demand of modern computing. if you want to run windows vista ultimate edition then it is better if your PC has a gpu. it helps you to get better 3d views. nividia is very well known for it's gpu.
The GPU or Graphics Processing Unit is a processor that takes graphic calculations and explains them to save the main GPU from the burden of many tasks such as 3D gaming. It can increase the performance of the device to maximize its uses.
computer is a electronic device
A computer is an output device.
Define the output device in computer?
Computer Science A+++
A computer is defined as an electronic device that is designed to accept data.
GPU.

On the graphics card.
GPU-Z is a way ^^
It highly depends on the computer, but it's usually either the GPU, Power Supply or CPU. With GPU and Power Supply generating the most heat normally.
Graphics Processor Unit
CPU or perhaps the GPU.
I'm the OP on this question and I just want to add that the computer is an HP Pavilion and the GPU change in question is changing from a Geforce 9100 to a Geforce GTX 650
That's a video chip. The chip can either be integrated directly onto the computer's motherboard- or as part of a video card inserted into an expansion slot
The difference between a CPU and a GPU is that a CPU stands for central processing unit: (computer science) the part of a computer (a microprocessor chip) that does most of the data processing; "the CPU and the memory from the CPU and the memory form the central part of a computer to which the peripherals are attached". GPU stands for a graphics processing unit (also occasionally called visual processing unit or VPU) is a specialized processor that offloads #D graphics rendering from the microprocessor. It is used in embedded systems, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles.
GPU stands for Graphics Processing Unit. It is what is inside a video card that processes all of the video being sent to your computer screen. - ElectroGoofy
If done incorrectly, overclocking can only damage the part that you tried to overclock (resulting in a burned-out chip which will almost always require replacement) or prevent the computer from starting up (not enough power to start up the computer).
