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.

  • 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.

    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.

    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

  • Satellite A300-148 how to increase the size of the graphics memory?

    Hello..

    I have satellite a300-148, I update my laptop RAM from 1 to 2 GB but the VRAM is always 128 MB. and in the toshiba site write this:

    ((Graphics Adapter:))
    Manufacturer: Intel
    type: Intel® GMA X 3100
    memory: up to 358 MB total graphics memory available with 2 GB of system memory
    memory type: shared))

    But my laptop no graphics card (intel GMA X 3100) is (mobile intel 965) how can I solve this problem?
    There are different between the two adapters? How to increase my laptop memory graphic size?

    Please help me...
    thanx

    Hello

    > How can I solve this problem?
    Problem? What is the problem?

    Take a look here on this page of the Toshiba hardware specification:
    [Satellite A300-148 | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 150445]

    Laptop supports the Intel® GM965 Express chipset but the graphics chip is Intel® GMA X 3100
    As you can see the type of memory is shared
    What does that mean?
    This means that this graphics card shares memory with the main memory. Everything is controlled automatically by the graphics driver.
    If the memory of the graphics card is required then graphic driver would assign memory automatically to GPU.

    I hope this helps...

    How can I increase it? I have the latest drivers.

    Hello

    The video RAM will be automatically assigned and t, you can change it. This means that if the system is in need of video RAM more then it will be automatically assigned more video RAM.

    But I put t understand why you need more like video 128 MB of RAM. I think that's enough, because the graphics chip isn't designed for games.
    There are maps better graphics in the games market.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A100-692 - how to reduce graphic memory?

    Hello!
    I'm looking for information how to reduce graphic memory. I have Satellite A100-692, PSAA9E-09900QGR and install 1024Mo RAM but 512 MB is dedicated to graphics memory. Because of this I have 512 MB of RAM in real-time only.
    I would change it. Should be spend of only 256 MB memory graphics. I checked the BIOS (ver. 2.00) and graphic drivers and anywhere is option for memory graphic change.

    Please help how do.

    Hello

    You described your situation, but this seems very strange.
    As far as I know, the laptop uses a 128 MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON X 1400 graphics card and this isn't a memory sheared graphics card!
    This card uses own 128 MB and must share main memory!

    I put t know why you suggested that you have only 512 MB.
    How did you test it?

  • Is possible to extend the graphics memory or replace the graphics card on the Satellite P10 504

    Anyone know if it is possible to extend the video memory on the satellite p10 504, or to replace the video card. Because the memory is too small to play most of the good games.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to increase the graphics memory or replace the graphics card on the laptop computers of s.
    Please don t compare cell phone technology with the desktop simply.
    Laptops use other motherboards and graphics cards are mostly welded on the boards!

    Nothing to do, buddy

    I wouldn't buy a laptop if you want to play the latest games! Why? Because of the possibilities of upgrading equipment.
    The desktop PC can be upgraded very easily but not the laptop

    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.

  • 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.

  • Satellite A200 - how to increase the graphics memory?

    Hi, another question.

    I am unsing an A200-1CC, it's an Intel 945 Express Chipset Family settled. I tried to install a game that requires memory graph 256Motets. I received an error message "Shadow Pixel 1.1" maybe not supproted... and the page the maanufactured FAQ told me be sure to habe 256 MB in use.

    The A200-1CC has a 1024 MB of RAM and uses only a little over 100 MB memory graphics. I have check the Intel web page. My 945 Chipset supports Pixel of the shadow; and memory maximum grpahics used in 256 MB. So I increased my mother-2048 MB memory card today. However; It shows still 122 MB graphics memory in use. Page intel says that sometimes you can adjust the DMTV in bios, but that does not apply to my system.

    Any chance to get used to 256 MB graphics memory? -I use a Vista system...?

    Thanks in advance for any idea you may have.

    ;-) Ingo

    Hello!

    No, you can increase the video RAM and there is no option to change this.
    The video RAM will be assigned automatically, but you can t change that.

    I know this good news of aren t but in my opinion the Intel graphic card is not designed for games. An nVidia or ATI card graphics would be a better solution for the game.

    Good bye
