• 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.

• How to increase dedicated on Satellite L870-136 graphics memory?

  I am trying to increase dedicated graphics memory allocation, and I read that I can do this if the BIOS, but I have absolutely no idea how access.

  Any help would be appreciated.
  Thank you

  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.

• Satellite E105 - Allocation of graphics memory

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite E105-S1402. I recently bought Starcraft 2 and my laptop has almost always slows down the game. I guess that's a problem graphic since everything else on the laptop exceeds the minimum requirements. I thought to increase memory dedicated to graphics card but I don't know how to do it. Can anyone help?

  I discovered that, by right-clicking on the desktop (Vista OS) > personalization > display properties > advanced settings, I see the following:

  128 MB dedicated video memory. I guess that's the figure I must increase, but I don't know how to do it. Can anyone help.

  Kind regards

  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.

• Change the memory allocated for the graphics?

  Hi, I have an Equium A60-181 with graphics ATi Mobility Radeon 7000. For the moment, that this GPU is using 64 MB of my system RAM that result with only 448 MB of RAM (512-64) for Windows. For a video resolution of 1024 x 768 32 bit it's a ridiculous amount of memory since it only really requires 4 MB for this. I'm not interested in games or 3d graphics, so my question is if I can change the memory allocated to recover more memory system?

  see you soon,

  Richard S.

  HI Richard,

  ATi drivers include an improved graphics option devices-> display manager that allows the value of the AMU to change. My SA30 supports load 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB and 128 MB.

  The same value UMA adjustable in BIOS Setup Panel.

• Memory allocated for mobility radeon on Satellite A100-768 graphics card

  Hello, I am french and I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-768,
  graphics memory of my lapto is like this:

  Graphics processor / vendor: ATI Mobility Radeon X 1400 HyperMemory to 512 MB - PCI Express x 16
  Video memory: DDR SDRAM - 128 MB
  Maximum allowed size of RAM: 384 MB

  I am looking for the location of the adjustment of the exclussive of 384 MB RAM) I want to change this amount (in fact it is 384 and I want to reduce to 128 or 0 in order to keep only the 128 MB) I looked in the bios and I found nothing

  Thank you and excuse my English

  Hello

  It is not possible.
  As far as I know, you cannot change this value manually.
  The graphics card controls the HyperMemory and assigns this value automatically.

  If you want to have more RAM (main memory) and then update the modules of memory on your laptop
  2 GB (2 x 1024MB) are recommended.

  Good bye

• 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.

• Graphics memory shared in a Satellite A200-1CK

  Hello, I have a Satellite A200-1CK which has 2 GB of RAM and 256 MB graphics memory shared.

  is there a way to check how my phone is currently using this 256 MB and you can manually change this?

  for example, to define graphics for always using 128 MB memory if the laptop needs or not?

  I already checked with google and I found a few sites that say you can change something like that in the BIOS but I can't find.

  Thank you

  Hello

  When I try to play a game that requires 128 MB graphic memory it does not even start. In theory I should be able to play the game, since I have enough memory. Or is it fake? Shared memory is perhaps not as real graphic memory. Can someone explain?

  There are different reasons why starting a game doesn t.
  Maybe a graphics driver is not compatible?
  Generally shared memory graphics cards are not really designed for games. Of course, some older games would go but with the games recent very strong graphics cards needs.

  I agree with alphaleader. Shared memory will be allocated automatically. She shared max value depends on the amount of installed RAM memory.

• 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.

• 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.

• Graphics memory more after upgrading BIOS on Satellite A110-195

  After update BIOS spécifiée for 1.30 to 1.60 available crahpic memory: 64 MB, must be 128 MB.

  After the update or it my mistake?

  I think it's your mistake. Graphics memory you will have if you use more RAM. As far as I know use this device comes with 512 MB of RAM, but you can improve it up to 4 GB.

• How can I set on Satellite M70 - 394 to 128 MB graphics memory?

  How can I change the graphics memory from 8 MB to 128 MB? I have tired to adjust it by the BIOS but cannot find it there!

  As far as I know on laptops with Intel (shared memory) graphics card, it is not possible. It is controlled automatically. For more graphics memory, you must use more RAM.

• Portege M400: How to change the size of the graphics memory 945GM?

  Hello

  Is anyone know how can I limit the minimum and maximum graphics memory on 945 GM Graphics Card (M400).
  My goal is to put FIXED to 128 so that I don't have freezes when video memory change. It of VERY annoying and punishes my work (Office 2007 is very eager or on video and main memory).

  Thank you
  Filipe

  Hello Filipe

  It will be interesting to know what you mean under punishing work of Office 2007.

  In any case AFAIK on Intel (shared memory) graphics card it is not possible to fix the graphics memory to a specific value (no BIOS settings and also no matter what setting in advanced display settings). If you want to use more RAM for the graphics I recommend you to upgrade RAM.

  Sorry, but I don't see any other solution.

• Satellite P305-8915 - how to increase the graphics memory of ATI Radeon 3650?

  Hello

  In the specification of [Toshiba P305-8915 | http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2234100& rpn = PSPCCU & modelFilter = & SelCategorie = 3 & selFamily = 10 73768663] I saw grapich memory could be changed, but my question is how to do this? I have search and I can not find it.

  Ideas to change the graphics memory?

  As far as I know shared memory cannot be set by the laptop user. It depends on the RAM upgrade. With more RAM, graphics card will use more memory for the graphics operation.

  As you can see in the specs that your laptop can be upgraded up to 8 GB of RAM.

• Graphics memory ATI 128 MB to 256 MB on Satellite L20

  Hello
  It is possible increase graphics memory ATI 128 MB to 256 MB on my Satellite L20 182?
  Maybe upgrade the BIOS?

  Hello

  I presume that you laptop uses a shared memory graphics card that supports the memory of 32 MB to 128 MB. The graphics card shares memory with the main memory of the laptop.
  Unfortunately, it s a physical limitation and it s not possible to use more than 128 MB

  Update the BIOS or a driver update will help
