Video card → graphics card – Graphics card is the more widely used term now and has been for a while, used by manufacturer like Nvidia and in media coverage(in the article references, 19 headlines use graphics card, while one uses video card), as well as Amazon. Both are still used, but graphics card clearly is the dominant term now.

Even on Wikipedia the string "graphics card" is used about twice as much as "video card". On articles about modern products the term graphics card is used overwhelmingly. jonas (talk) 12:05, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Support I had this request move in my mind because in the real world, magazines, and websites I never saw or heard "video card", I think "video card" is a legacy term from 1980s which was used to be the opposite point of "audio card". -- FMM-1992 (talk) 01:49, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Support - graphics card is definitely the current term. Hentheden (talk) 10:21, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Misleading graphic?
The graphic for Classical desktop computer architecture with a distinct graphics card over PCI Express is somewhat misleading: I think both are untrue; in reality:
 * 1) It illustrates the IOMMU being located in the GPU.
 * 2) It seems as if the IOMMU translates Virtual GPU memory to graphics memory.
 * 1) The IOMMU is located in the CPU.
 * 2) It translates virtual GPU memory to system memory. Danieln82 (talk) 22:05, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
