Change dedicated video RAM

Hello

I have a Dell laptop with an Intel i5 processor intel 4000 HD Graphics and 8 GB of RAM.

I went into the BIOS to change the dedicated video memory, as it is currently 32 MB which is tiny for a system of 8 gb but I can't find any option to change it. Im running windows 8.

Boot configuration options is F2 and Boot options is F12

The 32G that you see is not the video RAM - it's a frame buffer.  The system allocates video RAM necessary - there is no way to manually change the assignment.

    Unfortunately, there is no way to change the amount of video RAM.  It is what it is.

    If you need more video horsepower, you can look into the purchase of a dedicated video card of PCIe x 16 with 1 GB or more of memory for your PC that works with your PC power.

  • Mini-Tower OptiPlex 990 - dedicated video RAM?

    Hi all. I recently bought a refurbished Dell Optiplex 990 MT, and I tried to increase the dedicated video RAM. It is currently set at 64 MB, and it's way, WAY too low. It has 8 GB of RAM in it, and I thought I could juice upward without falling another 200-300 dollars for a discrete GPU.

    I visited most sites say that there is an option in the BIOS, but I have no luck. I upgraded to the latest firmware (A19), but nothing. Did I just waste my money buying this thing?

    You have the latest Intel Chipset and Intel Graphics drivers? Go to the Intel download site and that his assistant scan your system for the appropriate drivers.

    Most likely, you cannot increase the amount of RAM dedicated to video, and I only see the option listed in the BIOS according to the service Manual.

    Video expansion card must not be very expensive so that even than a "plain vanilla" card could increase performance.

  • Dedicated video RAM

    Hi all

    first I use hp pavilion g series

    so I checked today if my laptop can run GTA IV

    but his failure due to

    Dedicated video RAM

    This means my laptop cant run this game cause my video card is low?

    Ok.

    It doesn't have are deleted. A friend probably installed you the Intel HD graphics adapter update separately. He didn't know it would break the ability of the switchable graphics. No worries. It can be reinstalled.

    Download and run the latest AMD graphics adapter softpaq. When it asks you if you want to install or remove all, go ahead and select Remove all. When it finishes just run it again and tell him to install all including the Catalyst Control Center. It will install the software graphics for two adapters.

    Once this is done, you will have your rear switchable graphics and be able to run the game using the high performance AMD HD adapter.

    I want to increase to play better games.
    How to change through the bios I don't know.
    Help me pls.

    Thank you

    The days of being able to change RAM in BIOS went Bye Bye a few years ago. It was back in the day.

    You can't make changes to the video RAM settings in BIOS.

    You can reduce the resolution if you want to increase performance in a menu of own game options, but at a cost of resolution.

  • Tecra M10 - 1 H 4 - change shared video RAM worth?

    Hello

    I have a Tecra M10, with the standard 2 GB of RAM, I also added an extra 256 MB of available RAM slot. Can I change the value of RAM shared graphic? In the properties of XP Pro, I can see that it is fixed at 1024MB which is stupid because I only 2.25 GB in the machine.

    I can't locate any settings even in the BIOS, where I thought I could change it. It's a mobile graphics chip Intel GMA 4500MHD. Any help is appreciated...

    I also seem to get some horrible slow down on the laptop too, when I have about 10 different windows open, (be it the same application or different) when I switch to another window/application from time to time I have to wait for the laptop to redraw the new window very slowly?

    I updated the driver too - claims I'm on: 6.14.10.4953

    See you soon

    TC

    Hey Buddy,

    No, you can change the video memory value of t. Everything will be controlled automatically and there is no value in the BIOS or the display driver where you can change it.

    Video RAM depends on the RAM you are using on your laptop. Increase system memory values for the available total graphics memory, decided video memory and shared system memory will be higher.

    So, to get more video RAM upgrade your laptop with more system RAM.

  • HP Envy TouchSart Ultabook 4 dedicated video RAM

    Hi I was wondering if my laptop will automatically increase dedicated video memory when necessary. For example, I play a game and the only thing is that I need to dedicated video memory more and I have 32 MB and the needs of 256 MB dedicated video memory game will automatically increase or simply I can't play it. I already looked in the bios and can't find anything about the increase in ram. My shared memory is 1632 MB and display memory is 1634 and dedicated memory is 32, I found this in directx 11 under display devices.

    Thanks for replying and thank you

    The Intel HD Graphics 4000 can dynamically allocate up to 1.7 GB of shared memory available.

    "The Intel Graphics Driver Properties window has no configurable by the user control or setting to increase the amount of graphics memory used by a single application. The used graphics memory amount is allocated dynamically in order to balance the needs of the operating system and all applications' Source: Intel

    Your laptop supports up to 16 GB of memory installed. Source reference: Guide maintenance & Service for the TouchSmart HP envy Sleekbook 4. If you want to be able to use more memory, then you must upgrade to @8 GB of installed memory. Don't expect miracles. Your TouchSmart Sleekboook Eny isn't a cell phone game.

    You have the possibility to change the graphics memory in the BIOS. You must go into the bios of the computer/laptop and see what are the options that it offers to the shared memory. If you don't know how to get there, check the documentation of the computer/laptop or from the manufacturer (Dell's Support). You can also find information on what are the maximum value of the shares.

    Warning of the BIOS:

    BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    This means that if the graphic card must more 16 MB of memory, the graphics driver will share the part of main memory!

  • Pavilion 15-p132nd: dedicated video Ram

    Hello

    I just bought a HP Pavilion 15-pn132.

    This laptop comes with an AMD A8 and AMD Radeon R5 m230.

    This graphics card comes with 2000 MB of vram.

    Today, I want to play games, but I noticed that it was very laggy.

    I tried how much vram is dedicated and I found that there are 512 MB dedicated.

    I tried to find a way to increase this to 2000 mb (or at least more than 512) but I couldn't find anything.

    That's why I'm here, I really want to spend more MB, but I don't know how.

    I would really appreciate help, so I can play games like Minecraft and League of Legends better.

    (Sorry for my bad English, I am from the Netherlands.)

    Hello

    Simply, you can't. System will this work for you and it will affect VRAM up to the maximum of the available system RAM.

    Kind regards.

  • Satellite L300-1AI - how to put more video RAM?

    Hello

    I struggle a bit with the graphics card.

    I bought GrandTheftAuto IV, and although it runs, it runs very slowly. The cause for this is that it uses only 124 MB of video ram.

    I went to the site of intel to learn more, and it turns out that toshiba will set up my video ram before sending it.

    http://www.Intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-029090.htm
    (about 1/2 down, titled: can I increase the amount of memory graphics using my computer is?)

    Y at - it an option for me to set up a little more ram on the graphics card?

    Because at the moment, if I will:
    Desktop computer - make a right click, customize, display settings, advanced settings
    Get the type of adapter and information.
    Its a Mobile Intel (r) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
    1341MB available total graphics memory
    128 MB of dedicated video memory
    Video 0MB system memory
    1213MB shared system memory

    The quesitons I need to answer: why vista/intel usually allocate more video memory it is necessary. GTA IV seems not to be allowed to see the dedicated video memory.
    And then, how can I say vista/intel to allocate video memory dedicated more or maybe video memory system?
    Dynamic video memory allocation thingy seems to not work very well.

    I have already been in the graphics media accelerator driver and changed the 3D, of Normal driver memory settings to high.

    Concerning
    Ollie

    Normally the video RAM is switchable dynamic and you can t change.
    What you can do is update your RAM and then you will have more video RAM.
    However, you should not change the video RAM. Get this s automatically.

    On GTAIV I can say, install the latest hotfix.
    In addition, you can GTAIV tell you more RAM:
    Create a commandline.txt in the main folder of GTAIV and enter this txt to the following file:
    -availablevidmem 2.0

    This option set the amount of physical memory to video.
