What is meant by a video-ram?

Video-RAM is the memory built into your video card specifically reserved for video-processing. Modern video cards have anywhere from 128 mb to 1 gb of RAM built in and dedicated to making video games run faster & prettier. This is different than the system RAM your computer uses for running programs, but on many laptops & inexpensive computers a certain amount of system ram may be dedicated to video in lieu of actual video RAM. Technologically video-RAM and system RAM are the same thing, the only difference is in their purpose.

I have an additional 256 ram but it is showing 480 ram installed but not 512 ram.?

You most likely have an integrated video card. Integrated video cards do not have their own memory, and use system memory (RAM) for video. Your video card is using 32MB of your ram. On most computers you can change the amount available to video by logging into bios and changing video memory amount.


Can you change RAM and make it video RAM instead?

No you can't.


Will increasing your computers video drivers to one of the latest versions increase the dedicated video ram?

No, Updating to the latest driver will not increase the video RAM. This is a chip on the video card or on the motherboard using the pc RAM. The only way to increase the video RAM is by making a change in the bios if it allows you. Some are set and not changeable and if its not already set to the max, or buying a new video card with a larger amount of RAM

Do GDDR5 video card run on ddr3 ram?

System RAM and Video RAM are two separate technologies, and do not directly depend on each other. It is possible to run a video card with GDDR6 on a system with only DDR1 RAM installed, and just as possible to run a video card with GDDR1 on a system with DDR3 RAM installed. Having a high speed GDDR video card will improve rendering performance, while having high speed RAM will improve loading times.
