8514 is an IBM graphics computer display standard supporting a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels with 256 colours at 43.5 Hz (interlaced), or 640 x 480 at 60 Hz non interlaced. 8514 was introduced at the same time as VGA and was superseded by XGA.

8514 is an early hardware accelerated architecture with a standardised programming interface called the "Adapter Interface" or AI. This interface is also used by the XGA, IBM Image Adapater/A, and clones of the 8514/A such as the ATI Mach 32.
