the GPU is like the CPU of the graphics card
the graphics card contains the board and the GPU RAM
also known as GDDR/GDDR2/GDDR3
most high end graphics cards use GDDR3 though.

A GPU is a graphics processing unit which can be located as an integrated graphic chip on a motherboard or on a dedicated "graphics card".
Dedicated graphics card are preferred because they usually come with their own memory chips and therefore do not need to use system memory to do their job.

easy to answer... a graphic card is the board that is connected on your motherboard... the gpu... is your graphic processing unit... which is just like the cpu.... except its different... the gpu is on the graphic card... just like a cpu is on a motherboard... the gpu releases the stress of your cpu so the gpu can take in more matter.... and lower the stree of your cpu so your cpu can process faster...
