I was reading another post about comparing 2 graphics cards (http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/356324-33-tomshardware), and one person metnioned VRAM is for resolution of the monitor.
System
-----------------------------------------------------------
Motherboard
Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
Model: GA-990FXA-UD3
Total amount of system memory 16.0 GB RAM
CPU
AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor
RAM
16GB
Graphics Information
Display adapter type NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570
Total available graphics memory 4095 MB
Dedicated graphics memory 1280 MB
Dedicated system memory 0 MB
Shared system memory 2815 MB
Display adapter driver version 9.18.13.1106
Secondary monitor resolution 1680x1050
Primary monitor resolution 1920x1080
DirectX version DirectX 10
-----------------------------------------------------------
Now i'm wondering if the VRAM will also affect gameplay performance in the next scenario below:
I was playing Fallout: New Vegas and I had a decent amount of mods, and it would lag when rendering new parts of the world. (i've checked with the mods and the mods deal with weather and high resolution textures). I was wondering if the 4GB of VRAM on the GTX 670 would be a major boost compared to my current GPU? I'm wondering in the specific scenario, as I was confused about the person who posted the answer on the link I provided above. Lastly, as a quick note, I have 2 monitors, with the resolutions listed above.
Thanks for the replies and help,
Colby
