Does Graphic Card Use PC Ram ??

I was going to buy a laptop with Resolution 1366 x 768, but i have choice rather i buy Nvidia GeForce GT 740m 1 GB Or 2 GB. Both laptop have approx same specs i.e.

Intel Core i5-3230 2.6 Ghz with Turbo Boost Upto 3.2 Ghz

Ram 1 with 4 GB other with 6 GB

Hard Disk 1 TB 5400 rpm

GPU i have mentioned above

The only think i want to know is then when GPU need more VRam for his task it Start using PC Ram. If this is true then i will buy 1 GB VRam GPU and upgrade his Ram to 8 GB also i will save 100+ $

Thanks in Advance

  • No, they call it discreet graphics for a reason. The graphics RAM and CPU are separate from the PC's RAM and CPU.
