  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. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. Vulkan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulkan

    Vulkan targets high-performance real-time 3D-graphics applications, such as video games and interactive media, and highly parallelized computing. Vulkan is intended to offer higher performance and more efficient CPU and GPU usage compared to the older OpenGL and Direct3D 11 APIs. It does so by providing a considerably lower-level API for the ...
