A graphics processor comes with Video Random Access Memory (VRAM) that acts the same as RAM does for a CPU. VRAM loads textures, shaders, and other graphics data directly from the storage disks and passes them to the GPU for rendering the display. However, GPUs have limited capacities—if you run tasks that require more video memory, the processor runs out of its available VRAM. In such cases, it starts using some space (usually half) of the system RAM as virtual video memory, which is the Shared GPU Memory....
