A graphics card (also video card) is a piece of hardware installed in a computer (and other electronics like video game systems, etc.) that is responsible for rendering the image on the computer’s monitor or display screen.

@Original Poster,
This is posted in the wrong board, as it has nothing to do with the Wii game; The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, coming out next year.

If you're going to ask this question, it belongs in the General Discussion section of the forum. Not at the "Skyward Sword" thread.

And if you really want to know what makes a graphics card good, I'm sure that a google search will direct you to some sites that have great information for you.
