Visiometa uses the most modern graphics technology available to achieve the best possible visual quality and rendering performance. This entails making intensive use of your computer's graphics hardware.

The most important piece of graphics hardware is the graphics adapter, which is the device that renders out all images and sends them to a display. There are two types of graphics adapters: integrated and dedicated.

An integrated graphics adapter, usually by Intel to use in their computers, is bound to the motherboard and shares resources with the CPU, which is undesirable for running programs and applications that have high demands on the graphics performance, such as Visiometa.

A dedicated graphics card has its own memory and processor for generating its images, and does not slow down the computer. They also have higher performance than integrated graphics adapters.

To optimize battery life, many laptop computers contain an integrated graphics adapter along with a faster dedicated graphics card for more demanding graphical tasks.
