Dedicated graphics memory

Hello

My current dedicated graphic memory is only 512 MB and it barely meets the requirement of minnimum for most games. After reviewing a few videos online I did this can be changed throgh the BIOS of the system but it is simply not that option in my current version of the BIOS (I have already installed the update to the newest BIOS).

So, this brings me to my question. Is there a way (maybe a program or something of the sort) to increase the graphics memmory dedicated or am I stuck with this amount?

(My laptop model: HP Pavilion dv6-6b47dx)

Thank you!

I never heard of anyone being able to change memory allocation of graphics by any means.

If you want to try different things, go ahead and let us know if something works, because hundreds of people have this question and hundreds were disappointed.

If you want to replace the motherboard to support one listed in the service manual for your model, if any, which may have better graphics, it would be your only option.

I would like to buy a new laptop before going this route.

    I just bought the 3 battle field, his does not work well. It told me that I have dedicated memory graphic need more, is it possible to change my graphics memory shared in dedicated graphics memory more since I got 0 in dedicated graphic memory right now.

    Hello

    Sorry to say, but you can't do that.  Dedicated memory is determined by the physical amount of chips of memory on the graphics card.

    Hi Aditya,

    Thanks for joining us out on Microsoft Community Forums.

    As you are interested to learn more about the increase in the memory of the dedicated graphics card, I advise you to buy an external graphics card. You can do this by contacting the manufacturer of the computer or the store local tech.

    I would also say to update you Direct X 10 for direct X 11 and check if it helps.

    I hope it helps. If you have any questions about Windows in the future, please let us know. We will be happy to help you.

  • Qosmio F750 - how to change the graphics memory dedicated to 2 GB...

    In order to get my Qosmio F750 ready to run some games, I've updated all the drivers on via the toshiba Web site and the NVIDIA site also the software downloading. This includes upgrading the BIOS to version 2.00.

    According to the [laptop specifications given on the Toshiba site | http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/computers/qosmio/f750/pqf75a-02y00q/specifications].

    I should have the following allocation of memory for the graphics:
    "4095 MB Total: 2048 MB of memory dedicated + 2047 MB shared memory.

    When I check the window Information on the performance and tools, I'm getting shows the following information:

    Graphics
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Display type card Intel(r) HD Graphics 3000
    Total available graphics memory: 1 696 MB
    Dedicated graphics memory: 64 MB
    Dedicated system memory: 0 MB
    Shared system memory: 1632 MB
    Display adapter driver version: 9.18.13.1422
    The primary monitor resolution: 1366 x 768
    DirectX version: DirectX 10

    Of course, when I look at the specifications of the laptop, I realize that the current graphic memory allocation matches the economy power Mode i.e. allocation of graphics when running on battery

    Normally, it would be nice, however, I don't see any change in the displayed info even when I'm running on current alternative.
    I checked all my power settings, but even when everything is set to "performance mode", the information displayed is the same.
    I try to look in the system bios to change manually the graphical distribution but none this option doesn't exist. Rather all options are defined in performance mode...

    So my final question is, * how can I change memory allocation performance mode graph as it is stated in the specifications of the system? *
    Is this something that happens automatically without changing the displayed Info?
    Is there a driver that I forgot to update? An update of the driver caused cela?
    A BIOS update caused this?

    On a side note, the audit of the DirectX Diagnostic tool, I have the version of directx is displayed as version 11. So I thought that the problem was with the displayed information. But even on the Diagnostic tool gives me the same information.

    I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this.

    Thank you

    Hello

    This is controlled automatically by the graphics driver.
    If the application that is running would require more RAM (IE game), the graphics card would control this value and I would add some of the memory to the memory of the graphics card.

    To be honest I m not sure that you can do, but when you start your laptop press F2 repeatedly and you should be able to enter the BIOS settings.

  • HP 15-D103TX computer laptop problem: Windows does not detect the dedicated graphics card

    Hi all

    I recently bought a laptop HP 15 - D103TX , which is held responsible for Free on BACK. I have updated my Windows 8 operating system and have installed all the drivers from the HP website. The laptop has dedicated 2 GB Nvidia Geforce 820 M graphics card.

    But when I checked, I found that Windows displays the graphic memory dedicated only 0 MB.

    As you can see in the screenshot, it shows as 0MB dedicated graphics memory.

    Anyone can clear me, upward on this subject? Is it a driver problem, or what is Windows 8 going crazy.

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Kind regards

    Brahmnoor

    Okay, I found the solution. In fact, the Haswell Intel i5 processor that my 15 HP D103TX has also comes with an Intel 4600 GPU intregated. So when I do normal tasks, the GPU intregated works, so Windows does not display the NVIDIA GPU 820M, but when I play a game or doing intense graphics work, he switches to the NVIDIA one.

    In fact, it makes sense, because it preserves the battery of the laptop.

  • Using a dedicated graphics card

    My laptop is Dell Inspiron 15r 5537

    I have a 2 GB AMD 8850 M dedicated graphics memory

    The problem is the more I play the games don't use it but rather use the Integrated INtel HD Graphics 4400.

    Is there a way to force the games to use the AMD card? I tried setting in the Catatlst control center 'High Performance', but it does not work.

    Help, please!

    Thank you.

  • increase the graphics memory.

    I want to ask if there are two different models of dell inspiron 15 5547?

    and how can I increase dedicated graphics memory for intel graphics hd that I have the graphics card.

    There are indeed two versions: only Intel and Intel-hybrid video.

    There is no way to manually increase the video allocation on the Intel video systems only.  Your application is the dedicated video memory research, your system does not - you need a laptop able to run everything you try to run.

  • problems with dedicated and shared graphics memory

    So basically I want to run a game that I have all the specs (above actually) that I need to play outside of memory dedicated to the graphics card. But what confuses the life out of me, is that I have about double the necessary memory required in system memory shared which as I understand, it is used on an as-needed-basis. However, clearly this is not the case, as soon as I try and run it crashes immediately.

    Okay, so I have the graphics card with the following specifications:

    chip type: mobile intel (R) 4 series express chipsets
    channel of the card: mobile Intel GMA 4500 M
    total memory: 797 MB
    memory: 64 MB dedicated
    shared system memory: 733 mb

    In addition to what BossDweebe wrote, I would like to comment on your comment

    "I more than double the necessary memory required in system memory shared which as I understand, it is used on an as-needed-basis." However, clearly This is not the case, as soon as I try and run it crashes immediately. »

    Shared memory (part of your system RAM) is provided by Windows on a dynamic basis, it is added if required and with a limited amount by the RAM of the system itself needs to run applications (= your shared graphics memory size can be based on available RAM total). It's a help for some graphical features, but not necessarily a guarantee to run games that explicitly requires a certain base of dedicated RAM video. As the dedicated RAM (own GPU memory) is much faster than the share of the contributions of RAM, two cases can appear:

    (1) the game does not start. Many games check the video hardware before starting, and if they are 64 MB VRAM and require more, often it is game over. The dynamically allocated shared memory cannot be controlled and is of no interest here.

    (2) other games may be more forgiving. But you're going to be faced with a vicious circle: you're hoping using shared memory, is a clear indicator of a graphic solution already slow and Asthenique (i.e. an integrated graphics card). Unfortunately, the slow system RAM does not speed up your graphics card, and taking a part of the RAM for the graphics features: with a slower running your game and can still finish in the dysfunctions.

  • Envy 17 6CF5093KZJ: dedicated video memory

    My laptop has Intel Graphics HD 4600. Total available graphics memory is 8285 MB with only 128 MB dedicated video memory. Is it possible to increase the amount of memory dedicated to the video memory?

    Edit:

    If it is not possible to do it with a few key strokes, is it possible in changing material?

    Hello

    No, you can't add more RAM to the chip, system will automatically more contribute up to the maximum limit by using RAM available. Yes, you can change the hardware: buy the new motherboard = buy a new machine.

  • Satellite L875D-10R - dedicated video memory - 512 MB only

    Hello

    I have a problem with my dedicated video memory. I bought my Toshiba laptop with 2 GB (amd 7640G) dedicated video memory, but it shows that I have only 512 MB dedicated. I tried also test in GPU. It shows also only 512 MB.

    Is it maybe problem in point 8.1 of Windows?

    Hello

    The Satellite L875D-10R supports 7640 G AMD Radeon HD internal graphic unit. This GPU is part of the processor AMD Quad-Core A8 - 4500M.

    Graphics memory depends on main memory. A part of the main memory would be assigned to graphics memory. In the case of 8 GB RAM main GPU can use up to 4083 MB by using the 64-bit system.

    You should also know that this will be controlled by the graphics driver and you cannot change it manually.

    Hello

    According to specification for laptop, your laptop has Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD with 128 MB - 1342 MB dynamically allocated shared graphics memory. This cards don t have some sort of control of memory where laptop user can set how much memory will be used for graphical operations.

    If you want to offer more memory for the graphics, you need to upgrade RAM but I think that 4 GB of RAM you should have now is maximum RAM that can be used on your model of laptop.
