Texture memory is a type ofdigital storage that makestexturedata readily available to videorenderingprocessors (also known asGPUs), typically3D graphics hardware.[1] It was sometimes implemented as specializedRAM (TRAM) that is designed for rapid reading and writing, enabling the graphics hardware increased performance inrendering 3D imagery. Modern GPUs have one kind of RAM for all kinds of buffers, although textures might still have a dedicatedcache.[2]
Larger amounts of texture memory allow for more detailed scenes.
