For me, it's Shared GPU memory.

Shared memory is basically using your normal RAM as swapspace for your GPU.

From what I read online this only works for integrated cards?

[-] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

isn't the primary vram for integrated cards just the system ram?

[-] eskuero@lemmy.fromshado.ws 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah but I assumed this is about providing the gpu with any user defined amount of ram

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
