What is my GPU?
Your graphic process unit name is .What is Graphic Processing Unit?
A Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a single chip processor primarily used to manage and upgrade the performance of videos and graphics. Features include:- 2D or 3D graphics
- Digital output to flat panel display monitors
- Texture mapping
- Application support for high-density graphics software such as AutoCAD
- Polygon drawing
- YUV color space support
- Hardware overlays
- MPEG decoding
- WebGL
Where to use?
A graphic card is not only used on a video card or a PC on the motherboard; It is also used in mobile phones, display adapters, workstations and game consoles. This term is also known as a visual processing unit (VPU).
The first device was developed by NVidia in 1999 and was called GeForce 256. It could process 10 million polygons per second and had more than 22 million transistors. GeForce 256 was a single chip processor with integrated conversion, drawing and BitBLT support, lighting effects, triangular setup / cropping and rendering engines.
GPUs became more popular as the demand for graphics applications increased. Eventually, it became not only a development but a requirement for the optimum performance of a PC. Specialized logic chips now allow fast graphics and video applications. Generally, the GPU is connected to the CPU and is completely separate from the motherboard. The random access memory (RAM) is connected via the accelerated graphics port or peripheral interconnect express bus. Some GPUs are integrated into the northbridge on the motherboard and use the main memory as digital storage, but these GPUs are slower and have lower performance.
Most GPUs use their transistors for 3D computer graphics. However, some have accelerated memory to map corners, such as geographic information system applications. Some of the more modern GPU technologies support programmable shaders that apply textures, mathematical corners, and accurate color formats. Applications such as computer-aided design can perform more than 200 billion operations per second and produce up to 17 million polygons per second. Many scientists and engineers use GPUs for more in-depth calculations using vector and matrix properties. The hardware for Bitcoin mining, which is popular recently, is fully equipped with a graphic based processing unit.
