GPU Explained. Basics of The Graphics Processing Unit
What does Nvidia, the world’s most valuable company, produce? GPUs! But what exactly is a GPU? This video explains the basics: what a graphics card is, the different types of GPUs, and how they work. It also explores VRAM types (GDDR and HBM), GPU cooling solutions, power connectors, and the major manufacturers. You’ll learn about integrated vs. dedicated graphics, PCIe, and what an eGPU is. If you’re a complete beginner, I highly recommend watching all the videos from the playlist in which I explain the different computer parts.
