Enigma
The console has the power switch like a pc, the cartridge goes ino the slot like a regular pci xpress or agp card in a pc, and the internal processor of the console reads the instructions or code from the card or catridge to get your video on screen, right? It seems very similar to how a video card would work in a pc.
Answer
Consoles are essentially mini-computers. They include the processor, sound and graphics cards/adapters, optical drives/cartridge readers, and so forth. Video cards are essentially a secondary CPU (often referred to as a GPU) which strictly performs the graphics rendering, letting the CPU do the other calculations (like the path of a bullet or figuring out what's in front of you, etc).
The cartridge or game disc is what contains the code, which is processed by the CPU and GPU... which then send the output to your video source to show what's going on.

video card for gaming pc?
fortysix9
i just bought a new computer and have this video card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 512MB 16X PCI Express. Whenever i try to play a game like halo 2 or cod4 it is really laggy even though i have the latest drivers and they are on the lowest settings. So i am going to get a new video card. Which one should i get? this one: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT 1GB 16X PCI Express(Major Brand Powered by NVIDIA)[+
or this one: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 1GB 16X PCI Express
thanx
Answer
I have the nvidea 9600gt 512 card in my machine i bought it 3 months ago its an amazing card.I dont understand why u are having lag problems when using the card u already have....the reason why i say this is because i used to play cod4/halo/half life/portal/etc using a 6800gt 256mb card and they all ran fine for me on high setting apart from cod4 where i was at medium.,maybe u need more ram for ya pc,do u have lag problems while playing the single player part of halo? or is it just online,if its when u are online then its your net connection causing the lag not your card.
