The greater the memory, the "smoother" the playback is. It has to do with buffering the image.

basically the same thing that your system memory does, it takes files that are required for the video part of a game and puts them on the memory for quick and easy access, which is needed for games, generally the more memory on a video card the better (not always tho, look at the core clock speed and the pixel pipelines also)

It frees up system RAM so that it can handle all of the computer functions. In addition, it processes the digital video, making it faster at pumping out images to the display much faster. It is RAM that is dedicated to image handling.
