Graphics or video (poll)

Hey, when reffering to the colorful board that has chips and a fan stuk to it and plugs into your agp slot (most of the time) which word do u use?

Actaully graphics card is a more specific term used for gaming card(eg geforce). But video card may be graphics card or a professional card(for CAD, etc. purposes), or an ordinary card just for simple 2D acceleration(like older SiS cards).

Video. No specific reason why other than I just have always referred to them as that.

I say graphics.
I used to say video when it was like VGA era, but now the cards have hardware beyond simple framebuffers which deserve recognition.

I'll go with the official techIMO term(as seen in the forum title).

I always say video card in both languages! (english and spanish -- tarjeta de video and not tarjeta de graficas or graphic card).
