[edit] Graphics chips vs. graphics cards

Not a bad idea, this category. But we probably need to decide how we define a "graphics chip" in relation to the already categorized graphics cards---the latter category actually contains modern (3D) GPUs rather than cards as such, which is admittedly more of a problem with the definition of *that* category rather than this one. :-) Anyway, I guess we should be careful not to include any modern GPUs here; at least until we get the gfx chip/card/GPU relations sorted out. --Wernher 04:06, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Great idea to have this category. I think it is good for there to be a separate category with old ‘graphics chips’ as opposed to modern-day GPUs. Take a look at the Video Display Processor article, I added some prose which explains what –I think that– the difference between VDPs and GPUs is... That a good enough definition? In any case, there should be a ‘Graphics chip’ article to accompany this category, and it should contain a clear definition of what is a graphic chip, and what not (modern GPUs). I vote for re-instating the graphics chip article. Grauw 09:47, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
