    For any specific model of graphics card, would there be any difference between the units sold in the U.S., vs. those sold in Europe, where the voltage and Hz. are different ? (This question might be extended to other computer components that don't have moving parts . . . although I guess you'd have to count a fan as a moving part.)
    When in Las Vegas, don't miss the Pinball Hall of Fame Museum http://www.pinballmuseum.org/ -- with over 150 tables from 6+ decades of this quintessentially American art form.

    Inside the computer the voltages are all DC and all the same. 5V, 12V, etc. The power supply converts incoming AC to those DC voltages. The only part on a graphics card that might be different is any TV (composte, s-video) outputs which could be localized (NTSC, PAL). But even those can usually be configured in software.

    Most videocards have a switch onboard.
