An Epic Games developer has warned that the VRAM memory capacity of GPUs will be decisive for enjoying high-quality games in the not too distant future. Although it mentions the Unreal Engine 5 graphics engine as an example of the next generation of games, high-end GPUs experience performance limitations due to lack of VRAM in ...
We are living a historical moment that will give way to another really interesting one like DirectStorage, since we come from an intensive use of the so-called RAMDisk by the developers and after that we are going to see a much smoother communication of information from our SSD or HDD to the CPU, offloading the ...
It’s pretty well known that the iGPUs that are on the market today are a huge leap forward from what we saw just a few years ago, but it does come with a very interesting consequence to deal with: the performance of its “supposed” VRAM. How does the CPU allocate graphics memory to the iGPU? ...
New NVIDIA and AMD GPUs haven’t been released, but if the leaks are correct (and every indication they will be), memory bandwidth is back in check again due to the ramp-up, and with it performs. The two companies will therefore choose to improve their architectures while waiting for Samsung to finish its GDDR7 VRAM and ...
If you are one of those users who change their graphics card every leap year and only if it is essential, for whatever reason, you have surely thought of something very basic in the average gaming PC that you surely have: you run out of VRAM in games and so is it possible to update ...
We all know how difficult it is today to get a graphics card, regardless of the type of architecture on which it is based (Nvidia or AMD) or the brand that markets it, from a larger or smaller entity. It’s so complicated that the last gesture announced by Nvidia was to resurrect a model that ...
When NVIDIA first spoke about chip-based GPUs, we thought it would be Jensen Huang’s going forward with the first design on the market, but while Hopper is nothing more than a promise on paper, the red team already has its first GPU of its kind, the AMD Instinct MI250X, the characteristics of which are now ...
A processor, whether it is a CPU or a GPU, only does process data, which leads to need a souvenir to feed it. Unfortunately, over time, the distance between memory and CPU speed grew larger, which led to the implementation of techniques such as caching. We can’t forget the latency between processor and memory, which ...
As we surely know by now and you have not read us much, the NAND Flash market where VRAM and RAM are included has a curious functioning due to the market itself and the volatility of events. We have the so-called “contract market” and the “sports market“, Basically because nobody wants to waste money and ...
One of the problems with tech specs is that they tend to give data that works 100% under perfect conditions. In the case of memory, this does not happen because not all data has the same latency and the bandwidth is never at 100%. More bandwidth doesn’t mean less latency By latency between a processing ...
