– What is VRAM

Question

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!

It’s memory, but instead of being on the motherboard and for the CPU, it’s on the graphics card and for the GPU. The GPU can have direct access to the data it needs in VRAM instead of going through the bus to normal RAM.
