Question VRAM for Multitasking

[Jamsterman]

Does more VRAM improve performance for multitasking like multiple browsers open, multiple videos or music files playing, and/or multiple streams, with small but several tasks running alongside or in the background?

if you running out of it yes. it will improve performance.

No. The things you listed, like playing music files don't consume much video memory. These are all generally "2D" graphics users so not graphics RAM intensive.

What do you mean by VRAM?
Video ram? Virtual memory?

Video ram doesn't impact any of those.
Virtual memory does though.

Music files playing was a terrible example. To repair it, Music Videos playing instead. Presuming each of these activities requires a tab, and there are hundreds of tabs open with no lazy tab loading, do they use VRAM or just RAM?

Video RAM. Every browser tab displays a whole screen worth of information, some browsers even having hardware acceleration. Does every tab reside in VRAM or does it get loaded from RAM?

it will use vram. then if it ran out of space , use system ram, then storage.
