11. A graphics card for connection to the motherboard of a computing system having a CPU bus, said graphics card comprising:

  • a silicon chip of a monolithic construction implementing a graphics processing and display subsystem including;

    (a) multiple GPU-driven pipeline cores;

    (b) a routing center, disposed on said CPU bus, for distributing the graphics data stream, coming from said CPU among said GPU-driven pipeline cores, and then collecting the rendered results (frame buffers) from said pipeline cores, to said compositing unit;

    (c) a compositing unit for re-composing the partial frame buffers according to said ongoing parallelization mode;

    (d) a control unit, for controlling the configuring and functioning of said graphics processing and display system according to the parallelization mode selected at any instant in time;

    (d) a processing element (PE) with internal or external memory;

    (e) a profiling functions unit, for delivering a benchmarking data to said multi-pipe drivers; and

    (f) a display interface, for running single or multiple display screens.
