GFX
Computer image processing
GFX is an abbreviation for graphics, used in computing, gaming, and digital media contexts.
It appears in technical discussions about visual rendering, video settings, and design work: The GFX card handles all the rendering, I tweaked the GFX settings for better frame rates.
Common in usernames and product names within gaming culture.
