How To Add More Dedicated Graphics Memory Ram

How can I increase my dedicated video memory of graphics card?

Dedicated video memory means that its a graphics memory available along with the graphics chip. (you cant change this, as its hardware included)Shared video memory is the memory that the graphics chip can access from the system RAM, thereby reducing available system RAM.Also note that shared memory is not as fast as dedicated graphics memory.If you want you can change your shared memory in bios settings like shown. I would also like to add something more by saying that Total Available Graphics Memory is a combination of all memory available for graphics. The system may not actually be using all of this memory, but it is available when requested.When or if the dedicated runs out, which it rarely does, possibly only on high res and ultra texture settings, then it can use part of your system's shared memory from the 16 GB sticks.

How do you add more graphics memory to a laptop?

It may say up to 1407 MB total graphics, and 256 MB of graphics memory. The thing is that 1407 is the 256 MB plus whatever RAM amount (depending how many gigs of RAM you have).

Simply upgrade your RAM.

http://www.crucial.com/index.aspx, run the memory advisor tool, and it'll tell you what type of RAM you need if you can upgrade.

How to increase dedicated graphic memory in ati radeon 3100?

You cannot increase the DEDICATED graphic memory on a video card, but you can generally increase the memory that an integrated video card can USE by adding more RAM; this is the only way you can increase the video memory.

Now, increasing the amount of video memory your HD3100 can use will not make it perform better in games. The video memory is not the leading factor when it comes to performance, but the most determining factor is the overall ability for the GPU to process information.

I hope this helps!

How do you increase the video memory on a laptop with intel HD graphics?

I have solved this! heres how! this is updated with a 6th gen intel processor with intel HD 520 graphics!you guys. i have the problem and the answer. “dedicated” video cards use their own ram for max performance. so your CPU can use its own ram, while the graphics card can do the same. “integrated” graphics uses the systems memory. therefore it is very limited. but here is what i found out. yes only ASUS lets you switch the amount of memory it uses in the BIOS. but that doesn't mean you cant give your GPU more memory. here is an example. lets just say i have an I5 6th gen processor from Intel. the standard integrated GPU is HD 520. and i have 8 GB of ram. the graphics card can only use so much of that ram. so it limits itself within the files of the system. so right now i have 512 MB of vram on the card. i use to have 128 MB because i changed the amount you can use. so the system automatically gives the graphics card a specified limit. if you have 2 GB of ram, the system would give you maybe 64 MB. 4 GB is 128 MB. and 8 GB is 512 MB. and 16 GB is more likely to be 1–2 GB of vram. i have 8 GB of ram and it gave me 128 MB of vram. but after watching a video i tried to do what the video did. and it didn't work. so i watched another one and it didn't work. so then i thought. well maybe if i do them both and see what results i get. it should work. and it did. now since i only have 8 GB of ram. my computer limited me to 512 MB. but when i first got the computer i had 128 MB. so in the video i created it doesn't change at the end. that is because i tried to bump it up to 1 GB but my computer didn't allow it. but it did work for me. for those of you who may have the hp star wars edition laptop without the nvidia graphics card. you will see that you have 128 MB of memory. so watch this video because this did actually work! also subscribe if it worked for you too!

How Important is Dedicated Video Ram?

dedicated video memory = memory that is on a graphics card.
shared memory = memory that integrated graphics use from your system ram

Alot of times integrated graphics are falsely advertised saying they have "dedicated xxxMB of video memory". Well that doesnt mean they have dedicated memory. Its saying the graphics can dedicated that much of your system ram to use for their own ram.

Integrated graphics usually base how much they set aside based on your total ram. So adding more ram will usually allow integrated graphics to set aside more.


Now the next thing you need to know, is the amount of video memory has NOTHING to do with graphic performance. Now games will say you need "xxxMB of video memory" to play a game. Well they are just saying what you should have, not that IF you have that much, you can play the game. As a game could say you need 128MB of video memory, and its easily possible to not be able to play that game if you have 1TB of video memory, but a graphic card/chipset that is below the requirements.

So you do NEED the amount they say you do, BUT just because you have that much or more, does NOT mean you can play the game.


If you have 128MB of video memory, it either means you have a REALLY old pos graphics card, or integrated graphics. That means you will not likely be able to play the game you want to.

So if you have a desktop, id suggest buying a new graphics card.

If you have a laptop, and it uses integrated graphics, you CAN increase the performance of them by upgrading your ram. Increasing the capacity, can allow your integrated graphics to use more memory. But for real performance you need to increase the memory bandwidth. To do that you want to use dual channel memory (2x2GB of 2x4GB configs, as they need to match). Then also using faster memory also increases bandwidth. So use like ddr3 1333 instead of ddr3 1066.

Now that will definitely increase the performance of your integrated graphics, but it again depends on the chipset you are using. If it REALLY sucks, then upgrading the memory will help, but it wont perform miracles.

How to increase dedicated video memory on my HP Compaq 8200 Elite Ultra Slim (i5)?

So my totaly memory is 1696 and my 'dedicated video memory' is set at only 64 (as a max).
I can't seem to add more since I can't acces BIOS, or so called UEFI which is on my computer.

Ordinary keys for BIOS such as "f1, f2, f10, f11, del etc doesnt work.

I tried 'esc' and than trying to 'enter' the uefi option, but when i tap it it doesn't do anything.
My configuration is:

System model: HP Compaq 8200 elite ultra slim
Processor: Intel Core i5-2400s cpu 2.5ghz (4cpu's)
RAM: 4gb of ram
Motherboard Manufacturer: Hewlett Packard
Motherboard Model: 1496

Thanks.

In gaming, which is most important, RAM or graphics card?

Well, definitely a graphic card.Your graphic card is the one that does the rendering work, RAM is just there to keep the data available for the CPU and GPU to access. Nowadays usually you get 6-8 gigs of RAM installed in a decent laptop. Even a 4Gb RAM is sufficient if you’re not into 2k or 4k gaming. But if you buy a Graphic card that itself has a memory of 4Gb, then of course you will need atleast 6Gb of RAM for it. But even if you increase this limit to, say 16Gb, you won’t notice much of a difference in gaming. Your frame rate would hardly increase by 2–5 fps.Now CPU on the other hand is equally important with the graphic card. You might install a GTX 1060 6Gb graphic card, have 8Gb of RAM and installed an i3 processor, still you wont be able to get the best out of your system. The GPU is way too powerful that your CPU. In this config, your CPU would be running at 100% with somewhat 60% of RAM usage and about 40–50% of GPU usage.So you need to see that this doesn’t happen. A system can take care of itself if the RAM is less, but it just cannot handle a slow processor. As it will take the whole system down with itself.

How can I increase my ram to my integrated graphics card?

You can not virtualize graphic memory from the bios - It's physical hardware.. The most you can do is over clock and risk it overheating.

If you need to increase your graphics performance then upgrade your drivers or add a graphics card to your motherboard.
