Question about Video Ram.

[QuirkyPhoenix]

How does a video card distribute its RAM across all of the monitors? In a given situation where I have 3 1080p monitors, how would the GPU use the RAM? Also I have to contribute a meme or 2, so here.

the vram is just to save textures most of the times (for games) then it'll process those textures and output them to your displays

more monitors = more things to display = more textures = higher vram usage

 

the vram doesnt divide itself into 3 parts if you have 3 monitors if that's what you're asking `-`

there is meme section in the forum.

 

its distributed to the programms not to the monitors. so if a game is run on the main monitor it uses the gpu resorces to display on the monitor it wants to be. its not like one monitor has 1/3 of the vram.
