Dedicated Graphics memory too low!

My son is having trouble playing games on his HP 520 Touchscreen PC. I ran a DX Diagnostic for the game company & they said the amount of dedicated video memory was too low at 64Mb. How can I increase the amount of this memory to the recommended amount of 512 Mb? Would increasing the amount of general RAM to 8Gb automatically increase the video RAM. Or if, as I suspect would I need to increase it manually, if so, How?

Hi,
What is its model ? 520 is a series of dozens models. You bought a wrong games machine for him, the following one is better:

No, you can't increased dedicated memory for video card w/o replace it (card may be very hard to find) but the system should automatically supply more RAM (up to a limit) when it needed.

Qosmio F750 - How to change dedicated graphics memory to 2GB...

In order to get my Qosmio F750 ready to run some games, I have updated all of the drivers on via the toshiba website and NVIDIA website while also downloading the relevant software. This includes updating the BIOS to version 2.00.
According to the [laptop specifications given on the Toshiba website|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/computers/qosmio/f750/pqf75a-02y00q/specifications],
I should have the following allocation of memory to the graphics:
"4095MB Total: 2048MB dedicated memory + 2047MB shared memory"
When I go to check the Performance Information and Tools window, I get shown the following information:
Graphics
Display adapter type Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000
Total available graphics memory: 1696 MB
Dedicated graphics memory: 64 MB
Dedicated system memory: 0 MB
Shared system memory: 1632 MB
Display adapter driver version: 9.18.13.1422
Primary monitor resolution: 1366x768
DirectX version: DirectX 10
Of course, when I look carefully at the laptop specifications, I realize that the current graphics memory allocation corresponds to the Power Saving Mode i.e. graphics allocation when running on battery power
Normally this would be fine, however, I do not see any change in the info displayed even when I am running on AC power.
I have checked all of my power settings but even when everything is set to 'performance mode', the information displayed stays the same.
I try to look in the system bios to manually change the graphics allocation but no such option exists. Rather all options are set to performance mode...
So my ultimate question is, *How can I change the graphics memory allocation to performance mode as indicated in the system specifications?*
Is this something that occurs automatically without changing the displayed info?
Is there a driver that I have forgotten to update? Has a driver update caused this?
Has a BIOS update caused this?
On a side note, when checking the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, I the directx version is displayed as version 11. So I thought the issue was with the displayed information. But even on the Diagnostic Tool gives me the same info.
I would be very grateful if someone could help me out with this.
Thanks,
Omair

Okay I think I get it now.
The Performance Info and Tools Window only shows the information on the Intel HD Graphics 3000.
When the specs sheet says power saving mode it means graphics using only the Intel HD Graphics.
However because of Optimus, the notebook can use either the Intel GRaphics card or the nVidia GPU.
The performance mode in the specs sheet refers to when the notebook is using the nVidia GPU.
The integrated gpu and the dedicated gpu do not run at the same time but Optimus switched between the 2 of them whenever the situation requires it. Whatever it switches to decides which 'mode' the notebook is using. The memory allocations for these 'modes' will match those of the specs sheet.
But any information about the graphics memory will not change as it only displays the info on the integrated gpu.
Well, I can finally understand what the previous posts were referring to and why the posts themselves were pretty short (there wasn't any problem needing to be fixed!).
Thank you for all of your help Randy, Akuma and PauPau

802.1x caused Switch to hang - Memory too low

Hi all,
Anyone experienced this before while turning on flex authentication (802.1x, MAB, Web Auth), causing the switch too hang. When the switch hang, I can't even telnet to switch or even console into the switch. The message I am getting from the console is "Memory too low, please try again later".
It happens weeks after 802.1x was enable on the switch, can anyone share their experience on this? Thanks.

Any luck with this??
We have quite a few 4500's doing the same thing.

How to increase dedicated graphics memory on X120e?

Hi,
I have 8 gigs of ram sitting in my laptop and was wondering if there's a way to increase the dedicated graphics memory from 384(?)mb to say, 500mb? I cannot find any option to increase the video graphics memory in the bios.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I was about to say it's probably different RAM speeds between the two sticks, but you bought two brand new 4GB sticks in a single kit, right? Hmm, that is puzzling.
Here's a theory: Turn off Virtual Memory (the Page File). (Google to find out how.)
Windows 7 uses some hard drive space as virtual RAM, writing and deleting to it. In practice, it doubles the amount of RAM the computer can "see" and use, guarding against actually using up the RAM and crashing programs. But the size of the virtual RAM can vary, and Windows might have increased the size of the virtual RAM when you doubled your physical RAM. Therefore, Windows could be actually using the hard drive as RAM more than it's using your 8GB of real RAM.
No matter how much RAM you have, it's a good shortcut to disable Virtual Memory/Page File. It seems to make everything a hair snappier.
Battery life will take a hit no matter what, because the second stick draws extra power.

Dedicated Graphics Memory

Hi there,
My current dedicated graphics memory is only 512 mb and it barely meets the minnimum requirement for most games. After reviewing a few videos online I leanred that this may be changed throgh the system bios however there is simply no such option in my current BIOS version (I already installed the most recent BIOS update).
So this brings me to my question. Is there any way (perhaps a program or something of that nature) to increase the dedicated graphics memmory or am I stuck with this amount?
(My laptop model is: HP Pavilion dv6-6b47dx)
Thanks!
This question was solved.

I have never heard of anyone being able to change the graphics memory allocation by any means.
If you want to try different things, go ahead and let us know if anything works because hundreds of people have asked this question and hundreds have been disappointed.
If you want to replace the motherboard for a supported one listed in the service manual for your model if available, that may have better graphics, that would be your only option.
I would buy a new notebook before I went that route.

Hello guys.
Running this 13" rMBP late 2013 8gb ram with Intel(R) Iris(TM) Graphics 5100 .
Have installed bootcamp for some gaming through steam. But every game so far is lagging big time.
It might be to this issue:
Total available graphics memory 1696 MB : Dedicated graphics memory 64 MB .
Is there any way to take this dedicated graphics up to 1024MB or at least 512MB?
When i check my graphics in osX it says 1024MB

When playing games on facebook, I often get the message "virtual memory too low, is being increased" Is there something I can do to clean out the "virtual memory" to avoid this?

As mentioned in my question above, it happens usually during playing games. I wondered if there were someway to clean out the virtual memory, as opposed to it "increasing" continually and overloading my memory in general. You are speaking with a computer novice for the most part, so I am unfamiliar with a lot. I do do updates and general maintenance on the computer, but is that enough for this issue?

Your plugins list shows outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
* Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
Update the [[Flash]] plugin to the latest version.
*http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Physical memory is the memory that is installed on your computer as real memory. To be able to run programs that require more memory and more programs at the same time (via time sharing and task switching) it is also possible to move (swap) currently not needed code and data to disk to make room for other programs and data. The total memory available for programs is the Virtual Memory.
You can check the Virtual Memory settings here: Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance > Settings (Advanced tab) 
Windows can manage more memory then is physical available and that memory is stored in a page file on your hard drive.
If the size of that file is not large enough and all available memory is in use then you get the Virtual Memory is low warning.
Make sure that you have at least 1 GB or the recommended setting for the Virtual Memory.
If you have less than 1 GB physical memory installed on your computer then if possible add more memory.

Try to install Snow Leopard says memory too low

I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard for my MacBook Pro. It says I do not have enough memory.
I am not a big gamer nor have lots of software. I have a some movies (iTunes 36 GB) and lots of photos (13.8 GB).
1) I assumed that the new OS would overwrite the old so I would not need huge amounts of available memory.
2) The system says I have 185 GB memory but only 1.8 GB available
3) I assume my big player software is OFFICE, and the usual mac stuff that comes on all the computers. Office is under 1 GB and even less on the pre-installed software.
I just can not find add up to 183 GB used anywhere - how can I find / discover why it always says I have not enough memory and where the rest of my memory is?
Thank you

You can download and install the free OmniDiskSweeper:
http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnidisksweeper/
This will scan your system and give you a good graphical representation of what files are eating up your hard drive space. A common thing that can eat up space is podcasts unless you have set iTunes to delete them after you listen to them.... but your space can be taken up by just about anything.

Pop up window saying Memory is too low to continue in Logic.Why?Way to Fix?

I recently purchased my IMac OSX 10.6.3 as well as Logic. I have about a half dozen projects on my hard drive now, which is also being backed up to a "time machine" external drive. The projects are pretty small( just piano, or piano and string quartet, etc.) I also just installed Office Suite for Mac and the full Adobe Creative Suite.
Recently when I have been working in the Score Editor(In Logic Pro 9), a pop up window appears saying something to the effect of "memory is getting low, don't install more plugins and remove any unused ones." Then today, after that pop up, another one showed up and said "memory is too low to continue. we will close project, autosave, etc. etc."
Why is this happening? Is there not enough memory on my computer? Will this actually effect editing procedures in Logic? (because it seems like some things aren't working like they used to) Is there a quick and easy fix? Is this related to space remaining on hard drive, or is it completely different? Could it be related to the IMAC backing up files to my "time machine" drive at the same time I am working in LOGIC?
Could someone who has a little time on their hands please answer these questions IN DETAIL? I am new to MAC and LOGIC, so I really have no Idea what's going on with the memory issue. I don't even understand how MEMORY corresponds to available space, quality of running programs, etc.
Please help. I'm working on a deadline to finish a Master's portfolio and this could potentially be a big bump in the road for me.
Thanks....

The System Requirements for Logic Studio call for a minimum or 1 GB RAM with 2 GB recommended. So you should not have a problem with your 4 GB.
First make sure your RAM is being recognized by your computer. Go to Apple Menu (apple in upper left hard corner and click on "About this Mac". Make sure it say 4 GB. Ram chip at times will go bad or become unseated.
Now for troubleshooting, here is what I would do. The next time you want to use Logic, restart your computer. Restarting "flushes" the RAM; it may not sound like it but that is a good thing. Then do not open any other programs other than Logic (except ones you may need for it). You listed an awesome group of software you own. Your computer is not set up for all these programs to automatically start up when you turn on the computer, is it??
So I am betting that you will not get the low memory message when only Logic is working. With some trial and error you will be able to open more and more programs at the same time without effecting Logic.
You can better understand your RAM by opening Activity Monitor (Applications >> Utilities >> Activity Monitor). Click on the System Memory tab at the bottom and you can visualize what your RAM (Memory) is doing. There is also a list of programs that are open and what resources they are sucking up.
Good luck with your computer and your masters.

[9520] Server Memory is too low

Getting an error on our login page every once in awhile where it says [9520] Server memory is too low. New login requests are not allowed. Please contact your system Administrator. We added more ram to the VM running the server. I couldn't see anything about recommended ram settings unless I am missing something. We have GWIA, MTA and Webmail all running on the same box with 6GB of ram. Anybody have any recommendations?
Thanks,
Nathan
Update: Restarting tomcat seems to help for some time.

Section 4.1 Hardware and Operating System Requirements in the GW2014
Install Guide[1] includes
--begin--
Adequate server memory as required by the operating system
Depending on the anticipated load on the GroupWise agents, additional
memory might be required. For details, see Section 4.6, Sample Agent
Memory Requirements[2].
---end---
Section 4.6 lists 4GB under recommended memory for best performance of
GWIA and its MTA with 4GB for WebAccess application. Given those two
added together equal 8GB and you're running on virtual machine I'd
suggest that you might want to increase the amount of memory available
to the VM.
Which OS is the server running and which virtualisation platform are you
hosting the VM on?
HTH.

I want to install dedicated video memory/graphics

I want to install dedicated video memory. I have macbook pro 13 inch late 2011 model with intel hd 3000 graphics. If not possible can i install additional ram and dedicate it to video graphics.
I want to play games like GTA 4 and other semi high end games that require dedicated memory cards.
Please tell me a fix.
[email protected]

I just bought this perhaps wont sell it ever, Saved a whole lot money for a year for a macbook. I wanted to use final cut and stuff,
I read that if you upgrade the ram to 8 gb you may get something like 512 mb of video dedicated memory, currently it is 384.
Guess, I made a somewhat okay choice.
and glad that i did not go for sony or other brand, coz mac may be a lil expensive, but it is an experience in its own.
like th feel of operating system , and everything is so coll, the multitouch pad, is so convenient.

Firefox repeatedly tells me my virtual memory is too low.

I frequently receive a message from Firefox stating that my virtual memory is too low and that you will add to this memory. I also get a message informing me that Firefox is not responding so I re-boot this works but it happens repeatedly.

The firefox is consuming too much memory! With one tab, is using 351kb! How to fix this?
Ah, I checked my virtual memory and it is more than 1GB...
What I can do?

Dedicated graphics shuts down (?) ... stuttering videos and low framerate graphic performance

Hi,
Since quite some time now I have an issue with my macbook pro that seems to be related to the dedicated graphics card and/or the dynamic switching from integrated to dedicated.
The computer runs fine and then suddenly, while watching a flash video, a high resolution html5 youtube video, or playing the video game hearthstone the frame rate of the video / video game drops dramatically.
The only fix is a reboot of the computer and then it is fine again for some time.
It might be related to the power management as it seems to occur more often when on battery or when the battery is low.
I have gfxCardStatus 2.3 installed and when this happens it still tells me that I am running on the dedicated graphic card.
Is that a known problem and is there a fix to it?
I tried to turn off "automatic graphics switching" in the energy saver settings. But this did not help.
specs:
Macbook Pro 15inch Mid 2010
8GB RAM – 2.66 GHz i7
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB graphics
OS X 10.9.5
Thank You!

The model identifier 6.2 MBP that you have has experienced GPU problems. There was a replacement program, but that has expired.
I suggest that you make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have the MBP evaluated for FREE. Mention the GPU issue because there is a special test for it.
If it turns out that the discrete GPU is the problem, then you can download this application which will allow you to disengage the discrete GPU and use only the integrated one. This will compromise graphics performance.

A permanent solution would be a logic board replacement.
Ciao.
