The problems surrounding insufficient VRAM rear their head whenever a new and demanding game fails to run properly on older or lower-end graphics cards. We blame everything from game optimization ...

TL;DR: NVIDIA's Neural Texture Compression (NTC) combined with Microsoft's DirectX Raytracing 1.2 significantly reduces VRAM usage by up to 90%, improving game performance and lowering hardware costs.

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 ...

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 ...

Nvidia’s new RTX Neural Texture Compression (NTC) uses AI to dramatically shrink texture memory requirements, potentially reducing VRAM usage by over 80% without sacrificing image quality. Benchmarks ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Graphics card memory, or VRAM, has been a hot topic of discussion over the past few years because we're not really getting enough of it. It's crazy to think that 8 years ago, the GeForce GTX 1070 was ...

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.
