as someone who does a bit of graphics programming, i can confirm this, game developers basically load vertex buffers, index buffers, textures etc. in the gpu and then they get loaded whenever time comes to render, but the need for vram is because it would take too long to load and delete buffers for every frame, so they just store and reuse them for rendering
When you load a game, the bulk of that load time is compiling and transferring shaders and graphics files to the VRAM/GPU. The controlling software that interacts between your game code and GPU hardware is the driver, which connects to DirectX or openGL. You literally upload commands to these APIs so the graphics card knows what to do with them. It's a temporary parking spot for these assets, and the VRAM empties out once the game is closed. For anyone curious, a shader at it's most basic - is a set of GPU instructions designed to map a visual element that's powered by hardware. A shader can map an image or texture file, or it can add shadows/highlights or just draw a simple plane on your screen. Usually, you deal with vertex by vertex (points in 3d space) to make shaders work.
Got a laptop with a 1650ti. 4gb of VRAM is still fine for most games. But with modern like Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2, Star citizen, BG3 and the recent release of space marines 2. Its a struggle out here
To add on. Vram is ram optimized for the storage of the data formates most commonly used by gpus for processing. You Vram just like your regular ram is the max you can store easily accessible to the processor before it has to request from other areas. In gaming your vram generally stores textures and models of the currently loaded level/area, this is all because sending data from the cpu to the gpu is extremely slow, like cut fps in half slow. Generally the more vram you have the higher resolution things can be.
3060ti has 8gb of vram and it’s better than the 3060 which has 12gb of vram. Cards like the rx 580 have 8gb of vram but get beat by cards like the 1660 super which only has 6gb of vram. Saying that more vram = better is not true at all

@@richardmillhousenixon The question was not "Max settings" it was "is it a good CPU" and by the way, even the 4790K beats your 2700x in gaming. Your CPU was 💩 when it was released, and is only getting worse. Just because it has the same core count and frequency as a 9700K doesn't mean it has the same performance.
Bro is so dumb he doesnt understand why he is dumb 😂😂😂. GDDR6 is the model,but still VRAM. Its like saying we dont use cars anymore, its called Civic nowadays 😂😂😂
I presume VRAM is faster than RAM, but more importantly, its bus "command set" probably particularly suits the sequence in which a video card accesses its VRAM.
Basically processor is used for more complex calculations but with less quantity while the gpu needs to process thousand of simpler things so accessing it quick is important
Not really the right reason. Both the CPU and GPU need to access data very quickly and directly. The CPU has your RAM so it can directly pull data from the RAM for processing. The GPU doesn’t have access to the RAM and doesn’t share it with the CPU, so it needs its own memory (VRAM) to store and process data. There are some devices (including consoles) that have the CPU and GPU share the same memory.
Vram, ram, cpu cache and "storage" are all actually storage. The only big difference is the speed of it. The faster the storage the smaller it will be. Vram and cpu cache are faster than ram while ram is faster than regular storage like ssds. While ssds have more storage space than ram and ram has generally more than vram and cpu cache. That is also the reason the new 3dvcache cpus that amd made generally use less ram and do not benefit from higher ram speeds. When your vram runs out your gpu will start using system ram which is slower.
I know your channel is focused on PCs and stuff but i think i need some help for laptops here: Which laptop brands or models do you recommend for gaming (and game dev) while also being under budget (

In essence vram is very similiar to regular ram. The basic underlying principles of for example GDDR5 are the same in DDR3 and todays GDDR6 vram is based on DDR4. There are several gpu specific features of vram that makes it outperform regular dual channel ram which also differs from model to model. Just by adding more memory bandwidth for example you can increase a specific cards vram performance. Those are options not possible on regular ram due to standardization and it means you usually dont need a new vram technology as early as your cpu. But in essence its the same thing just with the naming on vram being 2 numbers ahead of the ram its based on.
Yes I know gpu can be considered an 2nd motherboard dedicated for graphics processing and that's why dedicated gpu is expensive than Integrated graphics but if you are casual gamer it will be enough for 4GB. 8GB is more expensive. If you can increase a little budget 6GB is super smooth
I wish I found your channel before I got a prebuilt. I was wondering if I could maybe trade my pc or get advice on how to upgrade it the best I can without spending my money stupidly.
VRAM is like a table for the comic artist that can draw in an instant, the more vram you has the more paper the artist can draw and prepare, then the viewer, aka your monitor will look at it which you will see the images, the more space the artist can prepare the comics, the faster you can see it. Also if you want to look for VR gaming, 8gb is not enough, i was playing half life Alex , and lag is noticeable on medium, maybe 12gb or more for vr
And for those who don't know, ram is basically just temporary storage. So it's just temporary storage for your graphics card, so it can quickly grab textures instead of needing to access your SSD or, in worse cases, your hard drive, constantly
Yeah. Anti Aliasing and Post processing need to store the past and current frames as well as different render passes of said frames. These add up, especially at high resolutions.
We could blame both Nvidia and game developers (mostly triple A) for that one. Nvidia refusing to give more VRAM for its GPUs and game developers refusing to put effort into optimizing their games that usually take more than 300GB of space now
Your 3070 has enough vRAM. This whole topic is something AMD fanboys made up because it's the only thing AMD beats Nvidia with. They put 16GB in 1080p cards, that will never get used. Don't let them make you question your decisions
I was so happy to get my first graphics card and thought 4 gigs vram would be more than enough for 2023. Even in 2018 games like god of war and uncharted 4, i cannot use ultra textures due ti vram limit. This sh* hurts.
can you make a video on just regular things you should know about your pc if you are unexperienced, and how to do general upkeep on it? im worried i will mess something up.
I was thinking about video ram or like virtual ram and like that’s where the textures came from and also if your GPU lacks it, it really dumbs down to performance. Like in Nvidia’s GPU, they have so low VR it actually lowers the performance potential.💀
Here’s something to add, for iGPUS such as the ones on the upcoming 8700G, you won’t need to get a GPU in the 970-1060 range of performance. But it does use your RAM, so if you want to get the new ultra fast iGPU AMD chips you should add an extra 16GB of RAM to be safe
When a graphics card's VRAM is full, it compensates by using slower system RAM for overflow, which leads to reduced performance and lower graphical quality. Given that the latest VRAM speed is over 1 Terabyte per second and the latest RAM is around 50 to 100 Gigabytes per second, a huge bottle neck happens. The GPU may also lower texture quality and manage its memory more aggressively to prioritize essential data. These measures result in decreased frame rates, increased loading times, and potential stuttering or lag in graphics-intensive tasks.
I play jedi survivor and it uses 24 gb vram. I think that when higher vram models exist it will use even more since it´s already maxing out my gpu. Vram is important!

Simply it process all the heavy graphics faster ⚡ then ram that's why it is important and expensive then ram
Me rocking 512Mb of Vram on my Gt640
Kt would be cool of one day your gpu has vram slots you can use to add vram.
You know sometimes i am casual gamer myself
Imagine some random china manufacturers build a literal option to upgrade ur vram
Like from 8 to maybe 16
I came into my school knowing what a GPU does and I will leave knowing what the GPU does still
When a graphics card's VRAM is full, it compensates by using slower system RAM for overflow, which leads to reduced performance and lower graphical quality. Given that the latest VRAM speed is over 1 Terabyte per second and the latest RAM is around 50 to 100 Gigabytes per second, a huge bottle neck happens.
The GPU may also lower texture quality and manage its memory more aggressively to prioritize essential data.
These measures result in decreased frame rates, increased loading times, and potential stuttering or lag in graphics-intensive tasks.
I think with advance technology, we need external graphics. Something more easy to plug and play. Can use either PC or Laptop.
Me chillin with 117 MB!! vram 😅😅
I play jedi survivor and it uses 24 gb vram. I think that when higher vram models exist it will use even more since it´s already maxing out my gpu. Vram is important!
Thats crazy..rdr2 on 4k doesnt even use 8gb vram 😅
Thats crazy bad optimasation
My 3070 who has just enough VRAM for 8GB:
