Difference Between Dedicated Memory and Shared Memory

Salut, je voudrais savoir la différence entre mémoire dédiée et mémoire partagée. Ce que je comprends, c'est que (je crois) mémoire dédiée signifie mémoire propre à la carte graphique.
Exemple : mon PC a 8 Go de RAM et ma carte graphique (GTX950m) a 4 Go, donc ma carte graphique a 4 Go de RAM et elle n'utilise pas les 8 Go du PC. Est-ce que c'est vrai ou totalement faux ?

Hello,

That's right, you understood. In the case of dedicated memory, the card has its own memory to work with. In the case of shared memory, it uses the PC's RAM. This is the case for graphics chipsets, for example.

However, if necessary, the graphics card, although it has its own memory, can also use that of the PC to complement its own. This happens when you ask it for a lot and its memory is not sufficient.
