Video memory, also known as graphics memory or VRAM, is a specialized type of computer memory designed to store and process visual data used by a computer’s graphics processing unit (GPU). The GPU is responsible for rendering images, videos, and other visual content displayed on the computer screen. Video memory size is an important factor that affects the performance of a computer’s graphics capabilities.
Larger video memory sizes allow the GPU to store and process more visual data, resulting in smoother and more detailed graphics. This is particularly important for gaming, video editing, and other graphics-intensive applications. Insufficient video memory can lead to stuttering, lag, and other performance issues.
