Speciffically i need about 500 more of that as this "Can You RUN it" thing from the internet seems to tell me in order to play No Man's Sky

But where or how do i buy it? What even is Dedicated Video Ram? As far as i know it's some sort of thing that frees up space for the other main type of RAM which i have 8 of and i have access to all of that 8, but some reason i think i might need more of that Ram space even though i have access all the RAM i already have at my disposal

You need a new GPU. Is not you can just upgrade it or something. Also memory plays a smaller role in the performance of the GPU, the used chip is far more important.

Buying a better graphics card.

Dedicated Video Ram is the RAM your GPU uses, aka your graphic card. Its fast RAM that is only used to store graphic assets and stream textures and stuff like that while you play a game.
If you have a desktop PC you get more VRAM by buying a graphic card that has more VRAM then your current model.
If you are on a laptop than you are mostly out of luck since those mostly have so called "integrated" graphic solutions, aka a chip on your CPU that handles the graphic. Those have no dedicated VRAM and instead use the normal system RAM for graphic usage while gaming.
Its one of the reasons why integrated graphics are not very good for playing games.
But even if you have a laptop that has a seperate graphic chip with dedicated VRAM , you cant upgrade those in laptops.

I see, so the conclusion would be that i need a new Graphics Card and it appears that my current NVIDIA GeForce 650 Ti one is not decent enough for the game which i'm seeking to play, very well then, i shall look into it.
