unsay difference sa memory in vid cards?

[Metz]

---

for example, 9800 GT 512mb compared to 1Gb model. unsa ang major difference?

[yugi]

X2 of 512 is 1024mb = 1GB so mao na iya difference.

The higher the ram the better.

512megabytes
1 gigabytes

1 gigabytes = 1000megabytes

more memory = more storage space for textures...

Usually, 1G of ram is used for texture intensive games that run at 1920x1200 or higher.
It's dependent also on how texture intensive the game is so 1G won't necessarily be faster than 512mb at all times.

they compared 3 8800GTs (256MB, 512MB and 1GB)

this holds true for a few number of high-end cards capable of doing full HD gaming, which is what the additional vram is intended for in the first place. If a card is weak enough to play games at high resolutions then even a 9500GT with 2GB of vram is a waste.

main purpose of the video memory are frame buffers. meaning, ang na render sa GPU is diri i-store before sent to output (monitor). pareha ra gud sa photoshop, you work with large images and it takes time to open the document, zoom in or out, make changes, etc. the same principle applies to the frame buffer. if you're running high resolutions, your video card must have a proportionate storage so that continous ang output sa display.

usual symptom na gamay ra imong video memory to the resolution that you're running is when you're playing a 3D game and you alt + tab to windows, the graphics card has to render another image which is your desktop from the current one na 3D game. if gamay ra imong memory, it will take time for the graphics card to show your desktop whereas if sufficient ang memory, dali ra ma render ang imong desktop.
