As modern video games become increasingly demanding, the amount of VRAM your GPU has can be a real problem. Without aggressive settings tweaks, some of the most demanding AAA PC titles — especially ...

In many ways, VRAM has become the sole determinant of GPU longevity ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. Early tests of NVIDIA's Neural Texture Compression (NTC) and Microsoft's latest DirectX Raytracing 1.2 have revealed a big drop in VRAM consumption, ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Video random access memory (VRAM) plays an important part in the performance of your graphics card, and consequently, your entire PC.

VRAM — video memory — is what your graphics card uses to store textures, lighting data, shadows, reflections, and all the other visual assets that make your PC games look the way they should. That ...

You can't download more RAM, but perhaps you can download a way to use less of it. Nvidia's neural texture compression technology, originally shown off at CES 2025 ...

Steve is testing at the town location, about 40min into the game. He said that it only takes around 200MB of textures to tip cards over the edge. There's no in-between - once the VRAM runs out, ...

Valve engineer Natalie Vock found a GPU memory optimization for Linux that greatly improves memory handling on AMD GPUs. It's unclear how (if at all) the benefits could carry over to the upcoming ...

Samsung has officially revealed the final specifications of its next-gen GDDR7 GPU VRAM for graphics cards. The company appears to have opted for the reliability and performance of its graphics memory ...

Big workloads that lean on a GPU often require gobs of memory, especially when dealing with large language models (LLMs) and other AI workloads. Hence the reason why ...

GPU memory (VRAM) is the critical limiting factor that determines which AI models you can run, not GPU performance. Total VRAM requirements are typically 1.2-1.5x the model size due to weights, KV ...
