Is it possible to increase the dedicated video ram on my Thinkpad 530?

hi experts, would like to ask if its possible to increase the dedicated video ram on my Thinkpad 530. After some reasearches i believe that laptop user is could somehow increse the D.V.R through bios. If yes, please provide instructions.
much appreciated

If you feel confident, you can do it yourself.
If not, Apple can do it for the small matter of money.
If you go to http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
Find you Mac on this page it has videos that show you how to replace the disk drive.
After you view the video then you can make your mind up as to which is the correct way for you to go.

  • Is it possible to increase GMA 950 Video Ram from 64MB?

    Hi,
    Sorry if this question has been answered plenty of times before, but I am wondering if there is a way to increase the GMA shared VRAM from 64MB?
    If not is Apple planning to make this a configurable option in future firmware versions?
    The reason I'm worring about video RAM is although the GMA 950 holds up pretty well in OS X animations, as soon as I start using 2 or more desktops in spaces, or 2 monitors, things get choppy. Has anyone else had this problem and if so did anyone find a solution?

    That might be a good idea. I started out with an upgrade myself and had a few problems. I then did a new install and it runs much better. You might want to try an Archive and Install.

  • Increasing Dedicated Video RAM? (Intel HD Graphics - Satellite A665-S6086)

    My Satellite A665-S6086 Laptop uses Intel HD Graphics, and I wish to increase the dedicated video RAM.
    Through dxdiag, it says I have 1696MB of Approximate Total Memory, but I only use 64Mb according to: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/CYRI/analysis.aspx?name=The-Elder-Scrolls-V:-Skyrim&id=11231&se...
    I went into the BIOS Setup -> Advanced, but was unable to find anything to alter the amount of Video RAM.
    If anybody has a solution to this, please share it.

  • How to add dedicated video ram to my laptop?

    I have 8 gb of ram but only 32 mb are used for dedicated video ram? How can I increase this ram? I tried the bios setup but there is nothing listed. I have this model of my laptop SVT15112CXS. Thank you in advance

  • T420 Dedicated Video Ram

    Hello all,
    I couple years ago I bought my girlfriend a Lenovo T420 for college. While not designed to be a gaming laptop, we've been able to get by playing most everything without a problem. Recently I started playing Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn, but she is unable to even download to her computer due to low dedicated RAM (she has 64 MB, but the minimum req is 256 MB). Is there any way to increase the dedicated video RAM or anything we can do so she can play without having to buy a new computer (since we're trrying to save for a wedding we're pretty strapped for cash)? I've read in a few places that some folks have been able to build external graphics cards for their laptops, but I don't know if this is even an option. Thank you for your help, I greatly appreciate it!

    Hi,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    Memory remapping for the Graphics is done through BIOS. If the remapping feature is not available in BIOS under configuration, it means that it is either set to Auto or to a certain amount.
    Right-click on the Desktop and click Personalize. Click Display in the bottom left corner of the Window. Click the Change display settings on the left column. Click the advanced settings link and you can view the total available memory to the graphics card as well as the dedicated memory. The dedicated memory is how much memory your video card has.
    Refer this knowledgebase for a better understanding.
    Best regards,
    Mithun.

  • Bootcamp Dedicated Video RAM

    Hey guys,
    I have a 2012 13'' inch macbook pro. This has the Intel HD 4000 graphics card. I have upgraded it to 16GB of RAM and and have windows 8.1 installed on a bootcamp partition. 
    Currently on my windows side it says that I only have 32mb of dedicated video ram.  On the apple side it says I have 512mb.  I would like to increase the dedicated video RAM on the windows side to fully use what my computer is capable of.  Normally in a windows computer to change your video RAM amount you go into the BIOS section, but since this is on a mac it doesn't have one. 
    I have been through about a billion tech support calls so here is a list of the things I've tried.
    What I've tried:
         1.  Using Refind to access BIOS on this.
                   -The new version doesn't seem to do much for windows as the only bootup option I am given is to bootup normally
         2.  Force the intel HD graphics driver 15.33.30.64.3958 to download and install
                   -Forcing it still doesn't have it run properly.  I've contacted intell and they say their drivers don't always work on laptops
         3.  Using parallels
                  -Unfortunately parallels runs extremely slowly when you're trying to use 512 mb of dedicated video ram for some reason
    Any help, or a direction to go in would be greatly appreciated.

    You may not need to do all this. Please read http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-033984.htm .
    How is graphics memory allocated in Windows 8/8.1*?  
    The Microsoft Windows 8/8.1 operating system adds improved support for graphics, simplifying graphics, memory configuration, and management. As part of this new graphics memory management, the Intel® HD Graphics Driver leaves more of the graphics memory sizing to Windows 8/8.1.

    Hi: Yes, the notebook will be able to automatically use any available system memory in order to meet the graphics demands. Bear in mind that the system memory is not as good as dedicated graphics memory, so you can expect your video games to not perform at their best.

  • Is it possible to increase the size of the police in the finder menu in Lion?

    Hezllo,
    Is it possible to increase the size of the police in the finder menu in Lion?
    Thhanks for your reply.

    I see, in Finder you have the ability to see things in multiple views. I would very strongly recommend you use the Find Out How Video tutorials , specifically Finder Basics. You can increase the font size in any view by clicking the View menu - Show View Options where you can increase the font size.

  • How to increase the shared video memory on Portege M100

    I have a Portege M100 and I would to increase the shared video memory. In the technical documentation: shared video memory 16-64MB
    I have 768MB of RAM
    but can't do it in the Bios or Windows.
    where i can do it ?
    (i'm french, sorry for the bad english)

    Hi
    I have also noticed that on units with Intel graphic chard it is not possible to ser shared memory usage manually and it works automatically. On units with ATI graphic card manual selection is possible.
    Why is 16 MB in usage and not more, about that we can just speculate. If you want try to check Intel page. As far as I know they have very good explanations for own technology. Maybe you will find something there.

  • Is it possible to disable the dedicated GPU on Satellite L850

    Is it possible to disable the dedicated GPU on the L850.
    Through the BIOS or whatever, so that the laptop only runs on the integrated graphics on the CPU.
    Thanks

    Hi
    What L850-xxx do you have exactly and what dedicated GPU does it support?
    Notebooks which support an Optimus technology (with nVidia GPU) would switch automatically between the internal (Intel) GPU and the external nVidia GPU and this depends on running application.
    In some case you could choose weather an application has to use internal Intel GPU or NVidia GPU.

  • Is it possible to increase the number of authorised computers with itunes.

    Hi with Apple now selling more devices than ever is it possible to increase the number of authorised computers for sharing on iTunes.
    we have 2 x MBP and a 27" iMac 2 x ipads 3 x ipods and 2 x iphones in the house, we would obviously like to share the one account with all of them and I think that seeing the number has not changed in years yet the number of products able to use. It would make sense to at least double the authorised number.

    You are limited to 5 devices. Maybe Home Sharing offers options

  • Blue screen when attempting to use the dedicated video card

    I keep getting a blue screen when attempting to use the dedicated video card.
    I managed to install the AMD driver for it but without the other components like the Catalyst Control Center as it blue screened on startup when attempting to load the Catalyst Control Center.
    The OS loads fine. Any applications that don't use the dedicated video card runs fine. All other drivers install fine as well.
    Applications like games and Photoshop that switch to the dedicated video card on startup automatically crashes, the OS freezes then a blue screen appears.
    What could be causing the problem? This problem just recently appeared. Two weeks ago.

    This problem only appeared a few weeks ago. Before that, the same drivers from the HP site installed and functioned normally.
    Could this be a problem with the graphics card itself?
    Note sure but if we can know the system P/N others can look to see what drivers it has for the graphics to know what is there.
