Basics
- Part of the Open Source Computer Componets Construction Set
- An abbreviation for Graphics Processing Unit
- This is more acurateley a video card (since it has memory as well as a GPU etc...) but the names are used near interchangibly
- Takes the data and converts it into a signal that a Display can understand
- Also has ports for said display
- Can also be used for graphics acceleration of certain tasks such as photo editing or deep learning
