– What is VRAM

455 views

I know it stands for Video Random Access Memory, but I cant comprehend or visualize what that means. If you can, give me some visual descriptions to help me wrap my head around it.

Thanks!

VRAM is memory for graphics cards. Data is stored in bits, which is either a 1 or a 0, or a high or a low voltage. You can imagine each bit as being stored on a small battery (capacitor), if a battery is charged its a 1, if its not charged, its a 0. These batteries are organized in 3d squares and are accessed by row and column to get a chunk of data.
