Graphics (from Greek γραφικός; see -graphy) are visual presentations on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, computer screen, paper, or stone to brand, inform, illustrate, or entertain. Examples are photographs, drawings, Line Art, graphs, diagrams, typography, numbers, symbols, geometric designs, maps, engineering drawings, or other images. Graphics often combine text, illustration, and color. Graphic design may consist of the deliberate selection, creation, or arrangement of typography alone, as in a brochure, flier, poster, web site, or book without any other element. Clarity or effective communication may be the objective, association with other cultural elements may be sought, or merely, the creation of a distinctive style.

Graphics can be functional or artistic. The latter can be a recorded version, such as a photograph, or an interpretation by a scientist to highlight essential features, or an artist, in which case the distinction with imaginary graphics may become blurred.

Is overclocking your graphics card bad for the card, or the computer?
Q. I recently bought a new game The witcher, now my computer is old but not that old. My graphics card is an WinFast A6600 GT , how much should i overclock it so it runs smoothly, or even runs at all (because it wont run for longer than 30 mins due to the low virtual memory) also any tips or links to overclocking would help. Cheers mate.

A. It is bad for the video card only. If the game won't run more than 30 min then it is possible that the graphics card is over heating and it is not because of the clock speed. If the graphics card is slow then a game should still run normally 'except' that the game will lag . the best program for overclocking is rivertuner but it may not support every graphics card.

What operational terms and graphics does the US Army Cavalry use?
Q. I am participating in a US Army Cavalry Spur Ride in a couple days. They gave me a list of things that I have to study and one of them is operational terms and graphics that the Cav would use, but they didn't tell me what any of the are. I have the complete manual of all Army operational terms and graphics but there are about 100 pages with more than 3000 graphics. I was wondering if anyone knew what to focus on.
