Background and Identification
The GIGABYTE Radeon HD 7850A model GV-R785OC-2GD is a graphics card by Gigabyte that is designed for serious gaming. Gigabyte Technology (branded as GIGABYTE or sometimes GIGA-BYTE; formally GIGABYTE Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Taiwanese manufacturer and distributor of computer hardware. Gigabyte’s primary business is motherboards. Gigabyte also manufactures custom graphics cards and laptop computers (including thin and light laptops under Gigabyte’s “Aero” sub-brand).
A video card (also called a graphics card, display card, graphics adapter, or display adapter) is an expansion card that generates a feed of output images to a display device such as a computer monitor. A graphics processing unit (GPU) is the part of the graphics card that actually does computations. The GPU should not be confused with the graphics card as a whole, though the term “GPU” is often used as a metonymic shorthand to inaccurately refer to graphics cards.
The GIGABYTE Radeon HD 7850A model GV-R785OC-2GD features a dual-link DVI-I interface, an HDMI port, and two Mini DisplayPorts. It includes an AMD Radeon HD 7850 graphics engine and can support up to four monitors. The graphics card has 2 GB of installed memory. Its video output has a maximum external resolution of 2560 by 1600 pixels.
