3D Defined

Everybody knows what 3D is, but what is it in a computer? 3D is generally what is used to refer to the capabilities of the video card. Today's video cards use a variety of instructions built into the video card itself (not software) to achieve more realistic graphics in computer games that appear to have depth. Most of today's video cards have these capabilities, but there are incredibly large differences between specific cards. That's why you need to read the Video Card recommendations. These 3D capabilities are generally used for games, but high-end video cards are used for creating 3D models and 3D animation. Many of these cards cost well over $1,000 and are not intended for home use.

This definition is in context to Computer Hardware. See more contextual defintions for 3D.
