Graphics Processing Unit is a specific electronic circuit that renders images, videos and animation etc. It is a single chip processor that's main use is to manage and improve the performance of videos and the graphics on many devices such as: game consoles, PCs and mobile phones. They work by sending signals back and forth from the CPU using transistors with instructions to convey with the monitor to show what colour each separate pixel should be. The GPU clock speed is measured in GHz and MHz. A higher clock speed does not necessarily mean a better performance. The cores in the GPU has thousands cores so it can perform many more tasks than the CPU with only multiple cores. Higher RAM allows your PC to render and load more textures, also, with them in higher resolution. PCI stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect and it's made for attaching hardware devices in a computer. Pixels are small dots making up images on computer displays, they can only be one colour at a time but, they so little and minute, they often blend to show a series of shades and colour blends. A polygon composes images that have a three-dimensional appearance. They arise when an object's surface is modelled, vertices selected and the object is rendered in a frame model.
