VRAM

Video card storage

VRAM (video RAM) is memory dedicated to graphics processing, separate from a computer's main RAM.

It stores image data that the graphics card needs to render quickly—textures, frame buffers, and other visual information.

More VRAM allows higher resolutions and more detailed textures in games and video editing: My GPU only has 4 gigs of VRAM, so I can't run it on ultra settings.
