'''Texture memory''' is a type of [[Digital data|digital]] storage that makes [[Texture mapping|texture]] [[data]] readily available to video [[rendering (computer graphics)|rendering]] [[central processing unit|processor]]s (also known as [[Graphics processing unit|GPU]]s), typically [[3D computer graphics|3D graphics]] hardware. It was sometimes implemented as specialized [[Random Access Memory|RAM]] ('''TRAM''') that is designed for rapid reading and writing, enabling the graphics hardware increased performance in [[rendering (computer graphics)|rendering]] 3D imagery. Modern GPUs have one kind of RAM for all kinds of buffers, although textures might still have a dedicated [[Cache_(computing)|cache]].

Larger amounts of texture memory allow for more detailed scenes.
