Why this term matters

Even if a device looks powerful on paper, VRAM often decides which local models feel usable, how much context they can hold, and whether performance stays calm or frustrating.

Examples

  • A machine may be fast overall but still feel cramped for larger local models if VRAM is limited.
  • Buyers comparing mini PCs and GPU boxes should think about VRAM-like headroom rather than only CPU specs.
