What does a video board do?

The graphics card is the component used to display images to your monitor. It is used more than just for games. Without the graphics card, there is no output to your monitor. Back in the old days, we used to call these things "video cards", which made it more obvious as to what these things do.Now different graphics cards have different capabilities. Some graphics cards, as an example, cannot support games that uses DirectX8 and above. Some graphics cards support multiple monitors; others do not. Some graphics cards can do full-scene antialiasing; others do not. The capabilities of the different cards can vary; and how well they do it also varies.

What is Accelerated Graphics Port good for?

AGP was designed to provide a faster interface than PCI for graphics cards. Graphics cards were needing to move more data than the PCI bus could handle. AGP is now obsolete, as data throughput requirements far exceed its abilities. PCI-E 16x 3.0 is the current bus used for graphics cards.


Are VGA connectors and AGP connectors compatible?

No, VGA connectors and AGP connectors are not compatible. VGA (Video Graphics Array) is an analog video interface used to connect monitors to graphics cards, while AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) is a type of interface used to connect a graphics card to a motherboard. They serve different purposes: VGA transmits video signals, while AGP is a slot for installing graphics cards. Therefore, they cannot be used interchangeably.

Which slot is used for 3d graphics video cards?

The now obsolete AGP slot was used solely for video. The current slots used for video, the large x16 PCIe connectors, can also be used for general PCIe expansion cards. Sitting in shelf above my head, I still have some PCI and ISA slot video cards: using a general-purpose expansion slot for video is the standard way, and a dedicated graphics expansion slot was a short-term abberation.
