VRAM
the memory built into a graphics card
VRAM is the memory on a graphics card. AI models run fastest when they sit in VRAM, because the card can reach it much faster than the PC's ordinary memory. Gaming cards have far less VRAM than the cards in AI servers, which is why large models usually need a server.
Think of it as
A chef's counter space: whatever fits on the counter is quick to grab; everything else is a walk to the pantry.
