The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) (also known as the Videocard, called 3D accelerator in 0.23-0.26, then 3d accel. in 0.28-0.4401) is a hardware component that is used to render color onto the screen. It unlocks better colors (from 16 Colors to 256 Colors, then High Color and finally True Color). The display of the game can be customised to the player's needs (including the ray tracing option that is unlocked after the player gets the nVD RayTx 2020 t GPU). The best video card that can be unlocked is AT RND 1. In the game, there are graphics cards from various companies (which are based on real life companies), such as:
- 3DFix Multimedia (3dfx Interactive)
- nVD Microprocessors (Nvidia Corporation)
- AT Circuitry (ATI Technologies)
- 9S Graphics (S3 Graphics)
- Also known as S3D
- MTR (Matrox)
