Morphology
The meaning 'a card that processes graphics' is directly compositional from 'graphics' (visual representations) + 'card' (a device/card), following the common noun+noun pattern where the first noun specifies the function of the second. This is a widespread technical formation (e.g., Spanish 'tarjeta gráfica', French 'carte graphique') so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will very likely infer the intended hardware meaning.
Etymology
The name graphics card comes from a small flat card inside a computer that makes graphics, that is, 'pictures' and 'video' for your screen. So, today graphics card means the part that creates and shows images and video.
