VRAM stands for Video Random Access Memory, which is a type of RAM specifically used to store image data for a computer display. It is a dedicated memory on a computers graphics card or graphics processing unit (GPU) that stores and manages data. VRAM is soldered onto the GPUs PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and is not meant to be upgraded or replaced like regular system RAM. It is used as a buffer between the computer processor and the display and is often called the frame buffer. VRAM plays a vital role in determining the resolution at which games can be played, and higher-resolution textures require more VRAM to store, so having sufficient VRAM allows for smoother gameplay at higher resolutions without compromising graphical fidelity. VRAM is also important in multi-monitor setups, where additional displays require more graphical data to be processed. Higher clock speeds for VRAM allow for faster data transfer between the GPU and VRAM, resulting in improved graphics performance. VRAM is a subset of RAM, which is usually used to describe memory like DDR4 or DDR5. Any RAM can work as VRAM, but its common for system RAM to be slower than dedicated VRAM, which can result in suboptimal performance.
