Graphic Memory is random access memory (RAM) which is used specifically to represent the image displayed upon your computer's screen or monitor. If your monitor's resolution is 1920 x 1080 then you have 2,073,600 pixels in total, each of which has to be mapped to a memory address. At 32-bit colour depth, each pixel is represented by 4 bytes of graphic memory, which equates to 8,294,400 bytes in total (approximately 7.91 megabytes). If you have an extended desktop using 2 or 3 monitors at the same resolution and colour depth, then the amount of memory required to represent your desktop doubles or trebles accordingly.
Due the high demands of graphics hardware, graphic memory needs to be as fast as possible to keep frame rates as high as possible. System memory is a compromise between speed and cost but is generally far too slow for heavy-duty graphics. Thus graphics cards generally provide their own auxiliary graphic memory which is much faster than system memory and is one of the reasons why graphics cards are so expensive.
What else can I help you with?
What is a video card's memory called?
just Graphic memory (GDDR)
What is xddr?
The XDDR is a memory format. It is a format that can be used for both graphic and system memory.
What memory is used for high end graphic cards?
GDDR5
Graphic images where each pixel is bit-mapped and take up more memory?
Graphic images where each pixel is bit-mapped and take up more memory?
What kind of memory is needed for graphic design?
Ideally, a high-resolution graphic card and enough RAM to run everything smoothly (about 1GB).
How does a graphic card affect a monitor's resolution?
The graphic card contains a part of computer memory and this memory can be larger or lesser. For example CGA adapter assigned the lesser part of memory than EGA adapter. That's why CGA had lesser resolution than EGA.
Does MacBook Pro with 3gb graphic exist?
If you mean 3GB of memory on the graphics card then no.
If you have a smaller screen resolution does the computer run faster?
Yes, because Ram memory is not that busy and also the memory of you graphic card too.
What is the optimal amount of memory for a video card?
Almost impossible to answer. Why do you need a video card? To watch movies? Any cheap 256M will do. To play the latest and greatest games? No card will ever be big enough because there's always the next game. However, the chipset makes more difference than the DRAM size. That said, I've never been restricted by memory size on my trusty 1gig, but I believe I will upgrade. I'm no gamer, but I prefer a smooth 3D on my CAD stuff. 1GB is what I would call optimal. If you have the extra cash, 2GB will probably do for a few years. However, it should be noted than on a 32-bit system, you cannot have more than 4GB total memory, which includes memory provided by your graphic card. Thus if your graphic card has 2GB, you can only utilise 2GB of system memory. So while game play will be perfectly adequate, day-to-day usage will suffer from lack of memory. If your needs are less graphic-centric, the less graphic memory the better. On 64-bit systems this is not a problem as there's effectively no memory limits other than those stipulated by the motherboard. In other words, graphic memory is in addition to the installed system memory. Ultimately, the optimum graphic memory depends on what you use your computer for. If you manipulate static images or edit videos, you don't need a huge amount of graphic memory, but you need as much system memory as possible. But if you manipulate or render 3D models or play the latest games, the more graphic memory the better. For the best of both worlds, you need a 64-bit system.
DDR3 graphic will work on DDR2 Board?
Yes, it should without a problem. Video cards have their own memory, and it doesnt matter if the video memory is a different type to the motherboard memory.
Which configuration laptop best for multimedia work?
2nd Generation intel i5 or i7 with min 4Gb Main Memory and 1Gb Graphic Memory
How many GPMs will a 6 pipe carry?
Do you mean Graphic processor memory or graphic processor unit and are you refering to pixel pipe-lines.? Please clarify and resubmit.
