What does Graphics Video Max Memory mean

[EXQNGaming]

Hello!
I would just like to know what does this mean? Does it mean how much vram does the cpu support or does it mean how much ram do the intergrated graphics on the cpu take.
THX.

Are you getting the phrase from a manufacturer spec sheet or from a program?

When listed on spec sheets, it usually refers to how much RAM can be used as VRAM when using integrated graphics in the CPU.

Graphics Video Max Memory
The maximum amount of memory accessible to processor graphics. Processor graphics operates on the same physical memory as the CPU (subject to OS, driver, and other system limitations).

VRAM is a type of RAM used in computer display cards. Processor graphics uses the system motherboard memory.

It's using system RAM to behave like VRAM, but it's not physical VRAM. Does that make sense?

When they said GPU, they were referring to the "iGPU" within the processor.
