Do all video cards use shared memory?
Yes for the current high resolution graphic affect, most of the time your PC RAM will be shared by Video card, too. Look at the link below for the demo for bridging graphic cards (one of the best).

Reply:pretty much yes, but if it runs out of memory to use for any reason it will use the ram (if any is available)
Reply:No, usually only integrated video uses the RAM to render. Integrated meaning it is built into the motherboard.


Dedicated graphics cards have their own memory and usually don't utilize much, if any of the system's RAM.
