  2. 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.

  3. Video random-access memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_random-access_memory

    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.

  4. GDDR SDRAM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDDR_SDRAM

    Graphics DDR SDRAM (GDDR SDRAM) is a type of synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) specifically designed for applications requiring high bandwidth, [1] e.g. graphics processing units (GPUs).

  5. Graphics hardware - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_hardware

    The majority of video playback on a computer is controlled by the GPU. Once again, a GPU can be either integrated or dedicated. Video Memory is built-in RAM on the graphics card, which provides it with its own memory, allowing it to run smoothly without taking resources intended for general use by the rest of the computer.

  6. 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.

  7. Dual-ported video RAM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-ported_video_RAM

    Dual-ported video RAM (VRAM) is a dual-ported RAM variant of dynamic RAM (DRAM), which was once commonly used to store the Framebuffer in Graphics card, . 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.

  8. GDDR7 SDRAM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDDR7_SDRAM

    Graphics Double Data Rate 7 Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (GDDR7 SDRAM) is a type of synchronous graphics random-access memory (SGRAM) specified by the JEDEC Semiconductor Memory Standard, with a high bandwidth, "double data rate" interface, designed for use in graphics cards, game consoles, and high-performance computing.

  9. 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.
