Question on VRAM


Rennn

Recommended Posts

It wasn't the minimum vs recommended; I've seen two 'official' sets of recommended, one with 512MB and one with 1GB. Obviously one of them is old or incorrect. I have DDR5 though, and I play at 1440X900 because it's my monitor's native. I'm not certain if my 768MB will be able to maz the textures at that resolution, even with DDR5. Hmm....

 

I suppose antialiasing also uses VRAM?

 

Nah, GPU is working the AA. VRAM is mostly for caching local textures, models and other graphic-related information that need fast access.

 

This^ ... Ram is all about textures and models .. its short term memory handling what is already loaded .. low RAM means you get a lot of texture and model pop in .. and CPU vs GPU just depends on the game and how its made.
