HP Pavilion DV2716ca - Reduce the amout of RAM allocated for video card

Hello,
Is there a way to reduce the amout of RAM allocated for video card?I don't play games so only 16-32Mb should be more than enough
I have 4Gb of RAM and only 2.99 are available. I know that for a 32bit OS only 3.4-3.6Gb are available.
Thanks,
Adrian

Hi @adrian_d ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv2716ca Entertainment Notebook and wanted to reduce the amount of Ram allocated to your video card. I do not recommend this as this could cause overheating or overworking the card. Here is a link that might help with performance issues.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

  • Reduce the number of Buffer Allocations

    Is there an easy way to find and reduce the number of Buffer Allocations in a LabVIEW application?
    Let me give you some background onto my approach before getting into my issues:  I create a waveform and send it to a PXI-6552 for generation.  At the same time that it outputs this waveform, it is also acquiring another waveform.  I process this acquired waveform's information and then save it to disk.  This loops over and over.
    I want to run this VI for periods of time AT LEAST equal to 24 hours.  (Maybe longer!)
    I know that you can't really control memory management much in LabVIEW, but is there a way to reduce the number of allocations between iterations?  Or, at least, free up some memory between for-loop iterations? 
    When I use the Profile >> Show Buffer Allocations, it seems like everything and their sister VIs all blink with dots.  :/ 
    I would prefer not to run the Memory Profiler and my application for 24 straight hours to examine its memory management and potential to crash.  There has to be a better way to go about this.
    The common places I find these Buffer Allocations are:
    Constants initialized in the loop
    Number to Fractional String VI
    Pretty much every subVI input/output pin
    NI HSDIO functions
    Build array function
    Every numeric multiplication/division function
    Every comparison AND, OR, equal to, etc.
    Am I really, really bad at LabVIEW memory management, or is there something obvious I am missing?  Please help me out   I cannot find much literature on the subject aside from "use the profile tools".

    That was very informative.
     I also stumbled upon this by jumping from link to link in the help documents http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/lvconcepts/vi_memory_usage/.  So I am reading through this now!
    I also considered running it on a more microscopic scale just to see how rapidly the memory will grow.  It still might be worthwhile to test.
    My question about the "buffers":
    In a textual programming language, I believe I could re-use almost all of the allocated memory without duplication.  Is there a way to analyze the code to check where or if new memory is being allocated?  And is it possible to enforce a waveform data type (I believe its just a cluster) of size X to be over written next iteration by the new waveform data type also of size X?  Or do you believe this might already be happening?
    EDIT:
    I cannot release actual code due to Company policies, but I am using the following general set-up:
    Create a relatively simple I2C waveform using the I2C Waveform Reference Library.  This is passed through a tunnel to the while loop.  I also pass a reference to the NI HSDIO generation and acquisition channels and an error cluster via tunnels as well.
    Within the actual loop, I use the NI HSDIO to send the same waveform every iteration to the PXI.  I use NI HSDIO Fetch Waveform to return a DWDT (digital waveform data type) which is the same size as the original waveform but naturally with different elements.
    I post process this DWDT by converting it to boolean with Digital to Boolean Array VI, a few build arrays, array transpose'es, and comparsion functions.
    Lastly I convert this boolean array into a string of 0's and 1's and then substrings from this string.  (Around 10 per iteration).  These 10 substrings are converted to decimal numbers which are built into an array that is saved to disk with Write Spreadsheet to File .
    I do not use any shift registers or anything.  It contains no inner loops but does use an inner case structure.
    I do not suspect any large allocations before or after this main loop either.
    I also do not have any front panel objects (except for the file path Contol, but this could be set to be a constant if need be.)

  • How to find the current CPU and Memory (RAM) allocation for OMS and Reposit

    Hi There,
    How do I check the CPU and memory (RAM) allocation for the OMS and the Repository database? I'm following the "Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Installation and Configuration Guide 10g Release 5 (10.2.0.5.0)" documentation and it says to ensure the following:
    Table 3-1 CPU and Memory Allocation for Oracle Management Service
    Deployment Size Host CPU/Host Physical Memory (RAM)/Host Total Recommended Space
    Small (100 monitored targets)                   1                                             1 (3 GHz)                            2 GB                                                                        2 GB

  • Connecting the canon SX50 to HDTV for video playback???

    Connecting the canon SX50 to HDTV for video playback???
    ok, Got this Camera, like it, except for a few confusing issues. I was told, in order to playback HD video onto my HDTV Samsung, with an HDMI4 on the left side of the TV, all I needed was a HDMI to HDMI cable.
     (#1) Shut off both TV and camera, plug the cable into this HDMI plugin, turn on the TV and Camera power supply, and it should recognize, then start paying.
    Well, I did it both ways, (#1) shut off,then turn on, and (#2) I just inserted the camera's HDMI to the HDMI4 while both were on, and tried opening up the Samsung's' Tools >Inputs, etc, and still nothing!
    Is there an easy way to accomplish this?
    The second issue i'm having , is how to shut off the slow motion playback, when viewing the videos, which were not recorded in slow--mo, and it's frustrating trying to playback in normal speed, but instead it plays in slow-mo.
    I'm not quite sure I'm recording in full HD...The payback is only 60i

    Thanks grazie!
    Well, i accomplished most of that and at least got the video on the display (Samsung Anynet HDMI3) But no sound!
    I was also able to control the SX50 TV Display with my samsung remote, kool.
    As far as the playbgack volume, I checked the camera, I did notice the OPERATIONAL SOUND was off, but when I played back the video on the camera itself, i did have volume.
    On that subject of Slow motion videos, if i'm watching each video, then see one playing back in slow-motion, does that mean i actually filmed it in slow motion, without knowing? ( i can send it through Pinnacle Studio 15HD and speed it back up, but theres no background volume anyway)  if i did unknowingly videotaped in slow motion, i bettter be more observant in the future.
    I'm going to increase that ''Operational sound'' on the tools / Camera and try to playback to see if I have any sound.
    I have a Yamaha 7.1 reciever, and TV, BD player,Time-Warner cable all is connected to this receiver....I was pushing all buttons for inputs to see which one would work for sound with video, but could not find any.  Thanks, or grazie grazie!

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • HT5278 If ios 5.1.1 on iPad 1 is no longer supported, is the device safe to use for credit card payments?

    Hi All, anyone, or just helpful users,
    If ios 5.1.1 on iPad 1 is no longer supported, is the device safe to use for credit card payments?
    I know the reasons why Apple no longer update IOS for Ipad 1.
    Due to end of life support, no bug fixes for older apps and constant vulnerabilities being exploited, does this now make the device insecure and vulnerable?  either information stored on the device or (especially) when making credit card payments through Safari, etc.
    Thanks in advance,

    I would say your biggest issue isn't as much your operating system as it is the network you use your device on. For example the most secure device in the world can be used at McDonalds open wifi and have its info intercepted....and it's not your device's fault rather the connection. Any security program is only as good as its weakest component.
    THe iOS operating systems are still very secure because they are highly resistent to viruses and malware....but a user can still click on that 'you won a million dollars' link in an e-mail and hand their personal info over to a hacker.
    If you feel you can no longer trust it, then stop using it. But I would say a user's internet connection and behavior are larger security vulnerabilities than any device.

  • Reduce the tab height in pixels for FF29

    I have read all the threads her eon the forums. I have tried the addons. I have googled, and googled and googled.
    Is there a way to reduce the height of the tabs in terms of pixels or not?
    I have edited my css file. I have tried the classic theme restorer and other.
    I like the overall look of FF29. I just want want the tabs the same height as they were in FF28 in terms of pixel height.
    This affects all my computers running both Linux and Windows 7 Pro.

    There is a min-height: 31px set that you need to override by specifying a lower value and adding the !important flag.

  • What is the right 1G RAM upgrade for Aluminium G4 1,25 GHzPowerBook ?

    After 6 months of struggle I am ready to throw my PB into trash bin and a buy a powerPC that works.
    I tried to upgrade RAM from 1G to 1,5G - the older RAMs being 2x512MB Kingston copies and working well but getting slow for multitasking (photo editing and other jobs). I understand this is possible, but I am no longer convinced.
    Ordered an Apple original from retailer getting first a RAM that did not work at all, the PB not starting, and thought this is due to bus slewing phenomenon.
    Contacted the importer and they sent me another one that should work, this being a PC2700U-2533 DDR Sodimm 1GB by Daimler.
    Now the PB starts and I can even get it working for upto 1 min or 2 max, then it freezes. No difference whether the RAM is on the lower or upper slot, and if I put the 1G RAM alone to any of the slots, the computer freezes at startup already.
    Is this now due to CPU speed that is too low, as obviously the buffering does not work properly as the computer starts, but then crashes? I get logs that indicate something is not properly identified, PCI cards do not work properly, etc.
    Is there a way to get over this and how ? In my country the Apple care and service is not worth mentioning - won't say where as I might have to resort to the monopoly office...

    Tortuga,
    I too have a 1.25 GHZ Powerbook, and have had issues with my machine, and installing new RAM. I've solved it with my machine by buying the Kingston KTA range of RAM. I bought a 512MB module, so I could replace one of my stock 256MB modules, to take my RAM to 768MB.
    If you want a 1GB module that is guaranteed to work, then you need the Kingston KTA-PBG4333/1G module. I know by listening to other people on this discussions site, that this RAM works, especially with the bus slewing models like the 1.25GHZ Powerbook.
    These machines are extremely fussy about the RAM they take, but the 512MB module I have fitted is working fine, and is worth the extra I had to pay for it. Cheap RAM is not an option, if you want your machine to work without problems, I have found, through trial and error.
    You'll have to look at Kingston suppliers in your Country (you mentioned Euros, so I assume you are in Europe somewhere), as I'm in the UK and RAM is expensive here anyway.
    I believe the 1G Kingston module is around £128 from Orca Logic (that's who I got my memory from). I believe the Crucial memory is almost the same price, but I don't know if their memory works in the 1.25 GHZ machine like the Kingston KTA RAM does.

  • How can I reduce the amount of user prompts for Email setup in Apple Configurator?

    I am working on deploying profiles via Apple's new Apple Configurator which allows me to install apps and settings exactly how I want them. My question pertains to the email setup where anything left blank in the payload gets prompted on the device for user input. Is there anyway to have the user only enter in their user name and password once and use that for the SMTP outgoing settings as well? I'd like to reduce the user interaction to a minimal.Currently they enter in their full name, email address, user name for incoming, password for incoming, and then user name AGAIN for outgoing (I checked the box for 'Outgoing password same as incoming'). Is there anyway to retain the username and avoid having the user enter it in twice?
    If not, I can make do with how it is, but was rather curious if this is possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'll try this again starting it as new, but when I restored it before (after deleting all the apps and music off it) it didn't help.  Thanks for the suggestion!

  • How do l preserve image quality when reducing the size of my brochure for use as a pdf?

    l've designed a brochure full of my work, and reduced the size so l can email the final pdf...but my test recipients are saying the images are not sharp...they are too soft.
    Can anyone help me preserve image sharpness?

    Don't use the resize feature as the images will be changed to 72 dpi. Resize the images BEFORE adding them to Pages. Make them about 200 dpi if they are to be printed. You can have less resolution if the pdf is only for the screen.

  • How do you reduce the number of pages designated for a Photo Book? I have iPhoto 11 and OS X Lion.

    I have been putting together a photo book.  The program is not as intuitive as I had hoped and I have spent hours trying to fit my photos into the spaces they provide, but I am sticking to it.  My problem is that I have been told by the program I have 54 pages but I don't need that many pages to get the pictures I want included.  How do I delete some of the pages?  Thank you for any hlep.

    Thank you LarryHN.  So easy---  Just impossible when you don't know what buttons to push. 
    May I ask another question?  Is it possible to add pictures to the cache of pictures to be added to the photo book without deleting the book and starting over?  I have an album of pictures that I put together (60 years of pictures) and I am using that album as the selection of pictures to put in the book.  I am having so much trouble fitting in the pictures I have selected in the spaces and sizes that pop up as available to me and there are so many more pictures I have that I now wish I had added to my album choices.  I tried adding pictures to the source album but they don't seem to show up when I select pictures for the book.

  • Problem on HP Pavilion dv7-6c90el with Windows 8 Pro x64 on Video Card

    good evening,
    I just finished installing Windows 8 x64 from Win7 Pro, I was able to find all drivers for my notebook, but I have problems with the video card settings.
    My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7-6c90el with two video cards, one run by the processor because it seems to me to be a part, and the other normally installed on the PC.
    The cards are read by Windows as:
    device 1: Intel HD Graphics 3000
    device 2: AMD Radeon HD 6700m Series (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.20)
    the problem resides in the fact that the device should be only one support per second, or deactivated, as it will not. The video card AMD should be set to 1, and the intel 2. Only if I go to the "Device Manager" to disable the intel card, Windows works as if it were not present any video card, also installed driver is not correct because the card is an AMD Radeon HD7690M XT, the problem is that even if I uninstall this driver then always comes back. I also tried to download AMD Catalyst in the latest version, but can not find the card. It 's like the Windows is imposed only use the device 1, which, however, I can not disable the BIOS, because there is no voice. I note that under Windows 7 had no problem.
    I ask you to help me because I need the performance of the video card for my work.
    This question was solved.

  • Upgrade RAM or Separate Video Card

    I'm looking to buy a 21.5" iMac.  I do some photo editing with photoshop elements and iphoto.  I also use iMovie but don't do intense graphics or video work.
    So I have two considerations:
    1. Should I purchase the iMac with a separate NVIDIA graphics card?
    2. Should I upgrade to 16GB of RAM
    Doing both would be a bit too expensive so I need to know if the base model will likely be fine for me or if I should consider upgrading the ram or video card.
    Thoughts?

    Can I ask what you determine the difference to be between professional use and home movie use?  I once made a home movie that was over an hour long.
    Basically I would like to purchase a new 15" MacBook Pro and am wondering if I should get the more expensive one with the Nvidia Graphics Card or without.  I like to do a lot of video editing on iMovie and have thousands and thousands of photos on iPhoto that I like to edit.
    Do I need the Nvidia graphics card or should I get the standard 15" model and up the memory/processor/hard drive?
    Thank you!

  • Need help choosing the best laptop or desktop for video editing.

    Hi guys.  I'm a videographer and am in need of upgrading my current Dell Dimension 8300 desktop to either another desktop or a laptop.  My current Dell is just too slow.  It takes forever to render a video.
    Anyhow, what do you guys recommend for video editing?  I'd like something with plenty of hard drive space, plenty of memory, and a powerful video card.  There are just too many to choose from and was hoping to get some feedback.
    Thank you,
    Brian

    You can find a fairly cheap quad core desktop with a nice video card.  So if you need something that will last a while and not cost too much I would go this route.
    If you want a laptop, put yourself in one of these categories: someone who needs high mobility/battery life (14 in screen or smaller), someone who needs high mobility with a big screen (15.4in), or someone who needs a powerful computer with a big screen (17-18.4 in).
    Don't worry too much about laptop brands, only a handful of them actually make their own laptops, most of the big brands use the same two or three laptop manufacturers.
    Get the most powerful intel processor you can afford, and put either a 9 series nvidia, or an ati radeon 4800 series in, four gb of ram, and a 7200 rpm hard disk.
    After that it really comes down to price and personal style, I would stay away from the hp laptops, the brand that they use doesn't do so well making the internal components.
    Here are some good picks. 
    1) ASUS G Series G50VT-X3 (15.4in)
    2) Sager 5793 (17in)
    3)ASUS N80 Series N80Vn-X5 (14.1in)
    Asus actually manufactures their own laptops, and my experience with them has been spectacular.  The Sager is a rebranded Clevo, which is one of the brands alienware, falcon northwest, and other high end companies use.
