it has the same basic purpose as your computer ram does, your computer ram helps the processor think and process stuff faster, so does the ram on video cards.. the more ram it has the faster it can relay images etc to the monitor/cpu

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.

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.


How do you increase graphic card memory?

Many motherboards with integrated video use a certain amount of system-RAM as your video RAM. If this is the case you may be able to go into BIOS and change how much RAM is being used for this purpose. Note that in these cases increasing video RAM will decrease the amount of system RAM.Other motherboards with integrated video have dedicated video RAM built-in. In these cases your only option is to replace the motherboard or, if the motherboard has an available expansion slot, disable onboard video & install a proper video card.

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.


What value obatined when you install more video ram on video card?

Well first of all, you dont add video ram to a video card. The ram is soldiered onto the video card. In order to upgrade your video ram, you will have to replace the video card. Doing so will benefit you in any 3-d applications (games) you run. If you arent much of a gamer, you probably wont benefit at all, if you are a gamer, a new video card can breathe a whole new life into your old computer.
