Shared memory graphic active? DV7-4045

The GPU for this machine is a HD5650 1 GB dedicated memory, but the sheets the entire list up to 2147 MB so I guess that 1 GB dedicted plusent 1147 MB additional memory share?

It's a safe assumption?

If this is the case, how can I activate the extra memory?

Hello

Yes, you are right.  The plug is the 1 GB dedicated, the rest can be made up by sharing your normal system RAM.  There is no need to activate this as the card will automatically start using system RAM once it exceeded its own 1 GB memory RAM.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes

    I tried to change settings in the BIOS, but it does not have this setting, do not know what else could cause this problem?

    Hello

    This could be confusing, but this isn't a problem.
    Shared memory is controlled by the graphics driver and the driver affects the part of the main memory to the memory of the graphics card ONLY if its required by a running application.

    The Dxdiag shows you how much RAM could be shared and value of memory in the quizzes you shared memory which is used and who is in the game right now.

    Hello

    Shared graphics memory is controlled by GPU driver. You cannot add or edit it manually.

    More depends on the Windows OS you use, because the 32-bit system can manage max 3.2 GB of system memory.

    For example:

    * (32 bit OS) *.
    System memory: 2GB | 4 GB
    Dedicated video memory: 128 MB | 128 MB
    Shared system memory: 702MB | 1214 MB
    TOTAL available graphics memory: 830MB | 1342 MB

    * (64 bit OS) *.
    System memory: 2GB | 4 GB
    Dedicated video memory: 128 MB | 128 MB
    Shared system memory: 702MB | 1631 MB
    TOTAL available graphics memory: 830MB | 1759 MB

    Hope I could help you

  • HP Compaq TC4200 - increasing shared memory graphics

    Hello world

    I bought an another HP TC4200 on ebay, I was wondering if I could increase safely shared graphics memory. I've played Netflix and Hulu thin on the 1st 4200, but with the nexted that I hoped to spend to play HD videos since I connect it to my TV.

    Thank you

    Andy

    (Got tired of paying Microsoft $10 just to watch Netflix on my XBOX, since I hardly play on it)

    You can not directly increase graphics memory.
    Its not like RAM, where you can add more memory with a different RAM slot.

    You may need to install the new graphics card if supported.

    Hello

    Shared memory cannot be assigned manually.
    Everything is controlled by the graphics card driver it assigns and automatically share memory to graphics card memory

    Memory will be affected ONLY if it of necessary it means that if running applications n t need more graphics memory then the graphics card driver not be assigned more than necessary!

  • Setting the shared memory size linux

    Hello
    I'm a bit confused on the parameters of the kernel, can you please share your views on this one please.
    Shared for the tt in the linux kernel memory is calculated as follows:
    Shared mem = perm size size temp + journal + fresh size generals 7 MB

    but when I look at the linux sysctl.conf, I saw that there is a great value for sharing memory setting (default) as ~ 68 GB, then I think that I should not override/decrease this value. What is your opinion? Setting the value default (68 GB) helps my DB behave badly? Or by assigning the value calculated as in the equation makes them much faster?

    # Control the maximum shared segment size, in bytes
    kernel.shmmax = 68719476736
    kernel.SEM = 250 32000 100 100

    # Control the maximum number of shared memory pages segments
    kernel.shmall = 4294967296

    Thank you very much.

    The shmmax kernel parameter simply sets a limit on the maximum size of a shared memory segment individual. It has no direct effect on performance. In general, it should be set large enough to allow the largest shared memory segment you need to create but smaller then the amount of physical memory in the machine. Shmall parameter sets a limit of large system on the total amount of shared memory (all active segments added) can be allocated. It must be also, in General, lower then the [physical memory on the computer.

    If one is defined on more memory in the machine is not an immediate problem. However, in this case, it is possible to create shared memory that is larger than the physical memory of the system (as far as adequate swap space is configured), and if this happens then the overall performance of the system will be affected, probably seriously.

    Thus, work on what you need and set accordingly.

  • Change the shared memory in the Bios for the graphics - Satellite C660 217

    There is no setting in the BIOS that I can find.

    BIOS is up to date

    Hello

    It is not possible.

    Shared memory is assigned automatically and this is controlled by the graphics driver.
    But the shared memory is only used if the applications (IE game) would require more graphics RAM.

    Hey Buddy,

    Shared memory quantity can't be changed because it will be controlled automatically.

  • Satellite A300D-126 - how to set shared memory?

    Hello!

    A month ago I bought 4 GB of RAM (2x2gb) and I got Windows 7 as operating system.
    My RAM memory is automatically extended to my grafic card (from 256 to more than 1,500 then) and everything worked fine...

    As I could not find the driver for the camera for Win 7, I decided to go back to Win XP and so I did.
    Now, my graphics card is 256 MB and memory system 3.25 GB of RAM. All my drivers are up to date.
    I don't know how to set up shared memory...

    In the BIOS there is no option for it, and I can't update the BIOS when I download the new version...

    Please give me an idea to try out! ... TNX!

    Hello!

    The reason why you can use the entire 4 GB of RAM of the t is the reason why you are using Windows XP or let's say a 32 bit OS. On 32 bit OS it is limitation of memory and so t may be used more than 3.25 GB of RAM. If you want to learn more about this limitation please read this article:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm

    Furthermore there is no BIOS option to set the graphics memory. It also depends on the limit of 4 GB and the size of the graphic RAM will solve automatically.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A110-275: more a low-memory graphics card after BIOS 1.30 update

    Hello

    Part number: PSAB0E-00T00TEN
    graphics card intel gma 945 up to 128 MB.

    Recently, I updated the bios of 1.20 to 1.30 and after reboot, I lost 64 megabytes of 'graphics card capabilities.
    After bios update, my computer is much lower. Why? How can one get 128 MB of memory on my intel gma 945?

    also s it is possible to manually change a file and configure gma 945 capacities up to 256 MB? I have a lot of ram and I could use it for games, now I can use only 8 to 64 MB.

    Concerning
    Piter

    Hello Pit

    I posted my opinion that I don't think there could be a problem in your second topic.
    As far as I know the laptop came with graphics card Intel shared memory. 8-128 MB of memory could be chosen.

    To my knowledge the Intel driver graphics card automatically controls the value of memory sheared. If need more than MB of graphics card memory so it will be assigned automatically.

    PS: In my opinion it is not possible to select 256 MB because the hardware does not support.

  • Satellite Pro L850 - i5 3210 M shared memory allocation

    Hello

    I am a happy owner of this laptop great and I added an extra RAM to consider to 8 GB.

    All data sheets on the State of sites detailing the gpu that can be assigned up to 1.7 GB of memory share.

    Previous experience from other computers is that this amount of memory is impaired in the BIOS settings, but I don't see any option in the latest BIOS 1.60.

    Obviously theres a lot of RAM to give to the GPU, but I do not see how to assign. The i5 chips allocate dynamically once Windows is running or the BIOS is missing this setting?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello

    Shared memory is controlled by the graphics driver and it cannot be controlled manually if running applications needs some shared memory, the pilot would have set this value automatically.

  • Re: Satellite A210 - 11 p: how to change the GPU shared memory

    Hi all,
    I recently bought this laptop with 2 GB of memory.
    I just bought 4 GB of Crucial, after doing the scan and it recommends the right Ram purchase.

    I installed it and when check in information system's watch than 3.3 GB.
    Now that I'm confused because according to this specification on blocks:

    «Graphic adapter: memory: 256 MB of VRAM dedicated (up to 1,023 MB memory graphics available using technology HyperMemory with 2 GB of system memory total) "»

    It seems that the graphics adapter card has took a little of my memory of the system.
    How can I change the settings so that it used only 256 MB or just a little more? I can't find a way to Vista.

    Ta

    * waves *.

    Please check this Toshiba document on this subject of 3.3 GB memory.
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7601WE0007R01.htm

    The windows and the BIOS cannot recognize all of the 4 GB due to the limitation of the 32-bit system.
    System resources need of addressing which overlaps physical memory below 4 GB.
    These requirements can reduce available addressable memory space to and reported by the operating system

    The GPU sharing only 256 MB.

    PS: I read somewhere on the net that the new Vista SP1 which is officially available in 2008 has solved the problem with limitation of 32-bit system

    I chek the bios, but not found anything with this stuff...
    I am from Bulgaria if Bulgarian too may have to help me or if not some tell me...

    A man told me things for some Toshiba KEY... to unlock an option in my bios I send emails but...
    And if do made 256 will have a good effect specialty for the games or not?

    It's all thanks. :]

    Hello!

    If you now 800 MB shared memory, you have quite 928 MB memory graphics.

    A dedicated video memory 256 MB upgrade is not possible because the graphics card is soldered on the motherboard and t can be exchanged. Who you mans can only increase the total available graphics memory, with more RAM.
