Well from your question, I'm guessing your a beginner in computers. So I'll tell you what the video cards are used for, what they can do, and where to find the best deals and the best ones. Well First off, video cards (graphics cards) are bought to be put in one's computer and then the computer can run better graphics (how good it looks). The Better the graphics card, the better the graphics. If you want to play games like crisis, half life, or team fortress on high graphics (which are adjustable you should go to tigerdirect.com and get the nvidia 9800, nvidia 260, or 280. So Basically Graphics cards let you play games with picture. Two more things to have these graphics cards and play those games is to have a good enough processor (CPU) and a good Monitor (tv screen). The Processor should be at least lets say, 2.2 or higher, and the monitor for these graphics cards should range from 19 or 20 inch or higher. You can also buy two SLI ready video cards and an SLI ready motherboard which means you can have 2 graphics cards run together then they'll go faster and better than just one but it can be a hassle have 2 graphics cards so just stick with having 1. If you want further information, go to tigerdirect.com, or email a professional at logan@tiger.tv

No, you should use a bus to connect a capture card to a computer.
