  2. GPU switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPU_switching

    Unlike integrated graphics, dedicated graphics cards have much more processing units and have its own RAM with much higher memory bandwidth. In some cases, a dedicated graphics chip can be integrated onto the motherboards, B150-GP104 for example. Regardless of the fact that the graphics chip is integrated, it is still counted as a dedicated ...

  3. Shared graphics memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_graphics_memory

    Graphics display was facilitated by the use of an expansion card with its own memory plugged into an ISA slot. The first IBM PC to use the SMA was the IBM PCjr, released in 1984. Video memory was shared with the first 128 KiB of RAM. The exact size of the video memory could be reconfigured by software to meet the needs of the current program.

  4. Video random-access memory - Wikipedia

    GDDR5X SDRAM on an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card. Video random-access memory (VRAM) is dedicated computer memory used to store the pixels and other graphics data as a framebuffer to be rendered on a computer monitor. [1] It often uses a different technology than other computer memory, in order to be read quickly for display on a screen.

  5. Graphics hardware - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_hardware

    A dedicated graphics card has its own RAM and Processor for generating its images and does not slow down the computer. Dedicated graphics cards also have higher performance than integrated graphics cards. It is possible to have both [2] dedicated and integrated graphics, however once a dedicated graphics card is installed, the integrated card ...

  6. Nvidia Optimus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Optimus

    Nvidia Optimus is a computer GPU switching technology created by Nvidia which, depending on the resource load generated by client software applications, will seamlessly switch between two graphics adapters within a computer system in order to provide either maximum performance or minimum power draw from the system's graphics rendering hardware.

  7. Shared memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_memory

    HSA defines a special case of memory sharing, where the MMU of the CPU and the IOMMU of the GPU have an identical pageable virtual address space.. In computer hardware, shared memory refers to a (typically large) block of random access memory (RAM) that can be accessed by several different central processing units (CPUs) in a multiprocessor computer system.

  8. Dual-ported video RAM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-ported_video_RAM

    Dual-ported RAM allows the CPU to read and write data to memory as if it were a conventional DRAM chip, while adding a second port that reads out data. This makes it easy to interface with a video display controller (VDC), which sends a timing signal to the memory and receives data in the correct sequence as it draws the screen.

  9. Intel GMA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA

    The products in this series are integrated onto the motherboard, have limited graphics processing power, and use the computer's main memory for storage instead of a dedicated video memory. They were commonly found on netbooks , low-priced laptops and desktop computers , as well as business computers which do not need high levels of graphics ...
