vRAM... Because size matters !

[Atom80]

Hi all,

Over recent months there has been a lot of "noise" about vRAM and how it effects the performance of your device whilst gaming.

Some brands would have you believe that size doesn't matter, but at Gigabyte we know this isn't the case and we aim to tune our machines and build specs that are geared towards enhanced gaming experiences,,, Hence why in out P35W & P37W, we use GTX970M 6GB vRAM, and in our P35X and P37X GTX980M models we use 8GB vRAM...

vRAM is used for depositing:

• Texture
• Frame Buffer
• Shadow Maps
• Bump Maps
• Lighting Info

Larger Vram will reduce Screen Lag, Frame tearing and greatly improve your average Frames Per Second in gameplay and also greatly enrich lighting/shadow effects...

Heh. If you'd released an 8 GB Geforce GTX 970 or GTX 980 last year, I'd have bought a pair.

Hi Quartz,,,

This is why we need to raise the profile of this element of our machines,,, because we did in fact have this specification in the market in November and ever since! But you obviously didn't see it,,, and I am sure you are not the only one !

Thanks anyway,
