Is the Verto Gamer Memory is to increase graphic ram?

Question

I have a Verto Geforce 6600GT 128MB/DDR3. Can I increase it's memory by using Verto Gamer Memory?

Answer 1

No, Verto Gaming Memory is just a brand of system memory made by PNY. The name is just supposed to indicate it is high performance memory suitable for a gaming machine, but it is still system memory and has nothing to do with the graphics card memory.

Answer 2

If the graphics memory is insufficient, some system ram may be utilised as needed, but it's nowhere near as fast as vram. How the ram is used depends a lot on how the particular software was designed to work. VRAM: VideoRAM, also known as multiport dynamic random access memory (MPDRAM), is a type of RAM used specifically for video adapters or 3-D accelerators. The "multiport" part comes from the fact that VRAM normally has two independent access ports instead of one, allowing the CPU and graphics processor to access the RAM simultaneously. VRAM is located on the graphics card and comes in a variety of formats, many of which are proprietary. The amount of VRAM is a determining factor in the resolution and color depth of the display. VRAM is also used to hold graphics-specific information such as 3-D geometry data and texture maps. True multiport VRAM tends to be expensive, so today, many graphics cards use SGRAM (synchronous graphics RAM) instead. Performance is nearly the same, but SGRAM is cheaper.
