large amounts of video ram keep the card from having to retrieve this data from the hard drive or system. so in addition to improved performance, the graphics card might use buffering, in wich the card will hold not only the frame being built but the next few frames as well.

What is 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.
