The Frame Buffer Controller (often called simply the "frame   buffer") controls the flow of data to and from various components, and can often provide support for a number of other features the card provides.  

In the Macintosh world, this is most often a custom or semi-custom (gate array) chip which is designed for a specific set of cards.
