A type of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) used in high-speed processing of visual data. See DRAM.
Utilizes a dual port design, allowing the accelerator chip and RAMDAC to access the frame buffer simultaneously. In other words, it's cooler than DRAM, but not as cool as WRAM.
Used to store pixel values of a graphical display. The board’s controller reads continuously from VRAM to refresh the display.
Video Random Access Memory. Unlike DRAM, VRAM can be accessed by the video card and the CPU simultaneously. This make VRAM faster but more expensive than DRAM when used in video cards.
Stands for "Video Random Access Memory" and is pronounced "V-RAM." System RAM ...
(Video RAM, pronounced "Vee-RAM") Memory devoted exclusively to supplying screen image information to the monitor. Measured in megabytes. Insufficient VRAM can limit both Screen Resolution and Bit-Depth, and can reduce overall system performance.
Video RAM A type of memory used in a display adapter. Designed with dual ports so that it can simultaneously refresh the screen while text and images are drawn in memory. It is faster than the common dynamic RAM (DRAM) used as main memory in the computer.
Video Random Access Memory. A kind of high-speed memory used for the computer's display. VRAM must be fast to keep up with the speed at which the screen is scanned. The VRAM in a PC is on a display adapter card.VRAM has two ports so it can send the data for text and images to memory and to the display at the same time.
video random access memory. Special type of memory used on video adapters to speed up image display rates. Can be accessed simultaneously by two devices, so the digital-to analogue converter (Ramdac) can provide screen updates while the video processor is supplying data.
Video RAM (video random access memory) means in general all forms of random access memory (random access memory) used to store image data for a computer display.
(Video Random-Access Memory) - Dual-ported (two separate data ports) memory typically on a video or graphics card. One port is dedicated to the CRT and refreshes and updates the image. The second port is for the CPU or graphics controller and changes the image data in memory.
Video Random Access Memory. High speed memory dedicated to rendering information to your computers display.
A high-speed form of memory used on some high-end video cards. VRAM is faster than standard DRAM, which will allow complex images to appear more rapidly on the screen.
Video RAM used by graphics cards. Unlike conventional RAM, VRAM can be accessed simultaneously by two devices, which comes in handy for complex 3D graphics. It's more expensive than regular RAM, but can speed up graphics performance. (4/99)
Video Random Access Memory, (pronounced vee-ram)
An acronym for video random-access memory. VRAM chips are modified DRAMs on video boards that enable simultaneous access by the host system= s processor and the processor on the video board. A large amount of information thus can be transferred quickly between the video board and the system processor.
Short for video random access memory; a special high-speed type of RAM that is used temporarily to store visual information being transferred to the display hardware in a computer.
Abbreviation for video random-access memory. Some video adapters use VRAM chips (or a combination of VRAM and DRAM) to improve video performance. VRAM is dual-ported, allowing the video adapter to update the screen and receive new image data at the same time. Abbreviation for watt(s).
Video RAM. DRAM used for high performance display.
Video random-access memory; a special memory chip that is designed for video applications. Usually has a special port for video information. Other data travels through another port.
Storage chips in a computer that are devoted exclusively to the display of images on a monitor. Increased VRAM allows displays to redraw or refresh an image at closer intervals.
Video Random Access Memory - the amount of VRAM determines how many colors and what resolution your monitor can display. The speed of VRAM affects the speed with which the screen updates. See RAM.
Video RAM. DRAM with an on-board serial register/serial access memory designed for video applications.
