It means your graphic card GTX1070 has 8 gig of memory. Other graphic card like GTX1060 has either 3 gig or 6 gig of memory.

I use my son's computer as an example.
motherboard = AsRock Z370
CPU = i7 8700
System memory = 2 sticks of 8 gig DDR4. Total system memory is 16 gig. His mobo has 4 slot for memory. He used 2 slots and 2 slot sit empty.

graphic card is GTX970. GTX970 has 4 gig of memory built in with the graphic card.
