Graphics Card = Video Card
GPU = VGA.

Graphics Processing Unit = Video Graphics Adapter (Array). Means all of those terms and abbreviations are the same thing.

I think VGA is referring to standard of analogue signal:

Today, the VGA analog interface is used for high-definition video, including resolutions of 1080p and higher.

Yeah but I've also seen the term VGA being used for Video Graphics Adapter, or somewhere as SVGA or Super Video Graphics Adapter. For example googling the term "best vga" gives you results for the best graphics cards.

Most of the google searches refer to cables...

I know it's a matter of interpretation, but still VGA means something else that graphics processing unit.

But let's not start an argument. "VGA card" is an anachronism...
