I call it a video graphics card. I guess it's stuck in my head that way from the old VGA (Video Graphics Array) connection slots on old cards back in the day.

i was gonna mention that, seems a generational thing imo. It was always initially a video card to me. From what i can recall at least

I use them both, but I guess I say video card more than the other. I also just say/type GPU a lot.

 

[Sasquach]

i use graphics card, feels a bit more universal in its descriptive purpose vs video card.

If you were to ask a newbie what either one is, which would they have a better understanding of its purpose?

Used to always say video card. Nowadays just say GPU.

 

[aviphysics]

GPU if I am talking to tech people.

Graphics card if I am talking to normal people.

 

[KAC]

You saying tech people ain't normal?

 

[nutcrackr]

graphics card mostly but sometimes I get a little bit saucy and go with video card

 

[Nagorak]

I'm pretty sure I usually say graphics card, but it's possible I may "slip up" sometimes and use video card. Graphics card sounds right to me, but it's not something I really pay much attention to when I'm speaking.

 

[Treeckcold57]

Either.....sometimes I say video card or graphic card.....i also usually say GPU.

 

[Jasef]

Grafikkort. I'm not some kind of barbarian.



Oh wait
