Realistic graphics with high-quality textures can consume significant amounts of graphics memory. While having a powerful graphics card is one solution, optimization is also a way to reduce VRAM ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. Early tests of NVIDIA's Neural Texture Compression (NTC) and Microsoft's latest DirectX Raytracing 1.2 have revealed a big drop in VRAM consumption, ...

For as long as modern rendering has existed, textures have been the biggest VRAM hog in the room. You can optimize geometry, tweak lighting, and scale resolution, sure, but those high-resolution ...

VRAM — video memory — is what your graphics card uses to store textures, lighting data, shadows, reflections, and all the other visual assets that make your PC games look the way they should. That ...

Video Random-Access Memory (VRAM), is a vital component of your graphics card (GPU), designed to hold graphical data. Rather than transferring the information from elsewhere, the GPU can grab directly ...

You can't download more RAM, but perhaps you can download a way to use less of it. Nvidia's neural texture compression technology, originally shown off at CES 2025 ...

Valve engineer Natalie Vock found a GPU memory optimization for Linux that greatly improves memory handling on AMD GPUs. It's unclear how (if at all) the benefits could carry over to the upcoming ...

Nvidia has tweaked the latest version of DLSS so that it eats less of your graphics card memory than before, potentially giving your Nvidia GeForce graphics card a little more room to breathe. The ...

Mozilla has released a small bug-fixing update for Firefox 126. Version 126.0.1 is now available with fixes for high VRAM usage on systems with AMD graphics cards, broken drag-and-drop, and more.

AMD has stuck its head above the parapet in the increasingly fraught GPU VRAM discussion, with the company's chief architect of gaming solutions, and former Alienware co-founder, Frank Azor, claiming ...

There’s no such thing as too much RAM—ask anyone who’s trying to find a good deal on an Nvidia graphics card. But you might not need to drop a month’s rent on a new GPU to free up some VRAM! Just wait ...
