VRAM
The dedicated high-speed memory built onto a graphics card, used to hold the data the GPU works on during mining and gaming.
VRAM, short for video memory, is the fast memory soldered onto a graphics card, separate from your system RAM. During Malairte GPU mining, the workload lives largely in VRAM, so both its capacity and its speed directly influence performance. Capacity sets a floor: cards with too little VRAM cannot hold the working data and become unusable for mining as requirements grow, which is why eight gigabytes is a sensible minimum today. VRAM type and bandwidth also matter, with GDDR6 and GDDR6X delivering more throughput than older GDDR5. When comparing GPUs for mining, VRAM capacity and bandwidth often tell you more about real performance than the headline core count does.
