What else can vram be used for other than gaming?

Solution
Gaming is the primary use in the consumer market but in the business and scientific arena, it's used for graphic, (mostly 3D) intensive activities for the GPU was designed whether or not associated with an actual image. This may involve "moving pixels on the screen" as well as calculating where an object and associated data should be such as locating an object in 2D/3D space while not necessarily showing the image of that object (image processing, texture mapping, rendering, geometric calculations, video decoding and post-processing, stream processing, protein folding, ray tracing, CUDA and Open CL).

Engineers and scientists continue to pursue the use of GPUs for non-graphical calculations but these applications lie well outside the...
