How to increase dedicated Video RAM in Windows 10
The computer memory plays a vital role in having quick access to applications and programs. The computer memory or RAM is used by the system processor to store the data. It is a volatile memory on a motherboard that stores the system’s operating system and programs for quick access. Your system processor continuously loads the data from the hard disk to the RAM before execution. But sometimes you may need to buffer a high-quality video, video editors, 3D structures and new game on your PC.
What is dedicated VRAM
Graphics-intensive applications and programs use a large space of system memory for rendering graphical data with high quality, color, clarity, and definition to the display. In these cases, your system may fall into a shortage of RAM and struggle to buffer high intensive graphics programs, as your graphics card shares the system memory. Unless you need to buffer high-end video applications, your PC works normally with the RAM. Otherwise, to buffer the high-quality visual display to your system monitor, you will require a special type of memory called Video RAM (VRAM).
The Video RAM is dedicated for a special purpose to process high-intensity video faster than the system RAM. Graphics cards or GPU use Video RAM (VRAM) built on it to store the images and video data. VRAM is also called as virtual RAM and is used as the GPU memory for easily processing graphical applications, games, complex textures and 3D graphics.
However, some applications like the latest games and videos may require you to play videos at 1080p or 4k resolution that needs plenty of VRAM. Moreover, the VRAM processes more pixels for higher resolution images to display them better. That being said, The modern games require increased detailing and the exact system requirements to launch them on your system monitor and, having an insufficient VRAM will lead to a heavy overload of GPU.
