But if the type, there are several types of VRAM that you should know include:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Synchronous Graphics RAM (SGRAM)<\/strong>: This VRAM is the\u00a0clock speed of\u00a0memory that is synchronized with the speed of the laptop CPU.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Multibank Dynamic RAM (MDRAM)<\/strong>: This VRAM has a working system by dividing the amount of data into several parts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rambus Dynamic RAM (RDRAM)<\/strong>: This memory was developed by Rambus. Namely, a technology company is known for its quality. RDRAM is a type of memory that has a bus to speed up performance between VRAM and Framebuffer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Windows RAM<\/strong>: This RAM has notoriously high performance because this RAM has a relatively faster clock speed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>RAM memory types are also differentiated based on the capacity at the clock speed and bandwidth capacity.<\/p>\n<p>In essence, the higher the RAM capacity, the better and faster the VGA performance will be, the following is RAM memory based on clock speed and bandwidth capacity :<\/p>\n<p><strong>DDR2:<\/strong> Clock Speed\u00a0on this RAM can reach 800 Mhz or more<\/p>\n<p><strong>DDR3: <\/strong>The clock speed of this RAM can reach 1800 Mhz or more<\/p>\n<p><strong>GDDR5: <\/strong>Clock Speed \u200b\u200bon RAM can reach 6000 Mhz or more<\/p>\n<p>As time goes by, for those of you who frequently update hardware, now there is a type of GDDR6 memory, which has a\u00a0higher\u00a0development\u00a0clock speed\u00a0than before.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the different clock speeds, video cards usually also have different power efficiencies in performance.

Increase clock = overlock . If it&#8217;s wrong, it can actually make an error on the VGA.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_VRAM_at_a_Glance\"><\/span><strong>#2. VRAM at a Glance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Well, for those who don&#8217;t understand, VRAM stands for Video RAM. That is the memory used by the VGA to temporarily store data before being processed by the GPU ( graphics processing unit ).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p>This GPU is practically like the processor of a video card.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The VRAM function will be visible when the laptop is used to play games.<\/p>\n<p>The greater the graphic quality of a game, the more memory will automatically be needed to be temporarily stored and processed.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p>Therefore, not a few people often consider large VRAM when buying a new laptop.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Does_Increasing_VRAM_Affect_Performance\"><\/span><strong>#4. Does Increasing VRAM Affect Performance?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most people who want to add VRAM, want performance (especially when playing games) can increase. The question is, is it true?<\/p>\n<p>Well, when it comes to performance, VRAM serves to accommodate temporary video card data, before being processed by the video card&#8217;s processor (GPU).<\/p>\n<p>So, if you say it has an effect or not, it comes back again, depending on the GPU used as well.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p>But a larger VRAM can reduce stuttering problems ( sudden lag ), because of its wider capacity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>FAQ&#8217;s On Increase Dedicated VRAM<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q 1.
