MOVED: How do I increase dedicated video memory?

This topic has been moved to MSI AMD boards.

Thanks for your response. My issue is that I tried playing GTA 4 today and on the graphics settings it lets you know how much memory is being used for graphics and how much is required for the desired settings. Even on the lowest settings it requires about 200mb however it said it was only utilising 60mb even though there is lots of ram allocated to standby.

  • No video configuration in bios to increase dedicated video memory

    Hi guys! I have lenovo g410 running in windows 7 with bois version 3.05, how can I increase the dedicated video memory? I tried to do it in bios but there is no configuration there that will change it. please help. thanks!

    hi ivangabayan,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    This setting (Memory Remapping)  is set to Automatic.
       changing it is not available like on most laptop,
    Increasing the RAM can help on increasing the shared amount for the Integrated Graphics.

  • G580 (2189) How Increasing dedicated video memory? (HD graphics 4000)

    g580 (2189) i5-3230M hd Graphics 4000 video memory size is set only 32MB!! And there is not bios setting to increase memory to 64 or 128mb?? why?

    Hi
    Welcome To Lenovo Community
    We are really sorry to hear about the issue you are facing,  
    Intel(R) video controllers do not have dedicated memory. They all use shared memory from the RAM installed on the system and reserved to the video controller through a technology called DVMT (Dynamic Video Memory Technology), which dynamically adjust the amount depending on how much is needed.
    The driver uses a small amount (~32MB) of driver for internal housekeeping purposes- that memory is taken at boot time.  All other memory needed is dynamically allocated to graphics as it is needed - up to 1.7GB on a 4GB system.  This is more than enough for all applications that you would be running.

    Hope This Helps

  • How do you increase shared video memory?

    I own an iMac with 256mb of shared video memory and have been dying to find a way of making the computer use more of my 8gb of RAM for video memory than it currently is (specifically for an improved gaming performance). Does anyone know of a way? Thanks in advance.

    Shared video memory? What's that?  Your computer has ram, your video card has ram.  You can change the amount of ram in your computer.  But your video card is what it is.  It cannot be changed.
    I think what your want is more ram for your computer.  Go to OWC to see possible choices for your model.  You don't have to buy there if you don't want (but I always recommend them).  But at least you will see what choices are available to you.

    That doesn't sounds right did you check your BIOS setting to set more RAM for VRAM? That's that only other place you can make that setting.

  • How do I increase HP Envy Dedicated Video memory?

    Hello, I 've been trying to increase my dedicated video memory in BiOS but I can't seem to figure out how to do it or if it's even possible. Any Ideas will be greatly appreciated, It's currently set to 128mb and thats pretty much useless for most games now adays. I read somewhere that games will run better if you increase it.  When I do scans on my computer that check compatibility for games, dedicated video is always the only issue. Product name: HP ENVY 15 x360 PCProduct number: G6T84UA#ABAVideo Card: Intel HD Graphics 4400Windows 10 Home 64-bit

    Hi, Simply say: you can't. System will automatically allocate/assign available system RAM to graphics up to max supported. By the way, that machine is not a games machine. If you wish to play games on laptop, please set aside around $2,000. Regards.

  • Why does my Macbook Air only have 64MB of dedicated video memory

    Hello, I created a windows partition on my Macbook Air and after going into my Display settings I see that it only has 64MB of dedicated video memory out of 1696MB. Please tell me how I can fix this problem as I should have much more Dedicated memory from my Macbook air.
    Additional INFO: MacBook Air Early 2014 edition, and has Intel 5000.

    Hey thanks a lot for the quick reply Loner, however, I'm not really sure what you mean (sorry I'm a bit slow when it comes to computers). I checked out your link, and when I do the same steps as in the link by going into screen resolution> advanced> adapter: it shows Total Available Graphics Memory- 1696MB, and Dedicated Video Memory 64MB, but it only uses 64MB, it doesn't use more when it needs to.
    I tried playing GTA 4 on my laptop via bootcamp, and in-game it tells me my laptop is only using 64MB of video memory and the game requires at least 260 or so, and my laptop won't use more (at least I'm pretty sure it is not using more or the game wouldn't give me that mssg).
    Again, thanks for your response, and looking forward to what you have to say, or any other that want to chime in Thanks a lot as always.

  • G580 20150 what's actual dedicated video memory?

    I am confused about my dedicated video memory. I was told by the salesman that I got 1 GB dedicated video memory to play high end graphic games. What I could find is only 32 MB dedicated video memory in the system and 1024 MB in Geforce. So please help me. Will I get performance of 1 GB dedicated video memory performance?
    Also got a query regarding the LSC's error message regarding Device Manager alert. I could not find any error in the device manager.

    Hi ismailpm.
    The 32mb of video ram is whats built into the dedicated GPU on the morherboards CPU.
    The ram you have installed will also be used by the processor to keep your system running smoothly.
    The Geforce however is a discreet Graphics card connected via PCE-E on the motherboard, Your Geforce has 1GB which equals 1024 mb of dedicated ram used for graphics intensive programes.
    The idea is that if you are playing a game that requires more power your Geforce should overide the onboard graphics to provide the extra power needed.
    As for LSC, Make sure you have the latest version 2.3.002, Once installed re-run hardware scan, That should fix any Driver missing issues.
    Hope that helps!
    And welcome to the forum.

  • Dedicated Video Memory

    Hello,
    I've installed all the drivers for the graphics card, yet my dedicated video memory is  showing 0
    os: windows 8.1

    Plz help.

    Hi,
    From the specs of your computer:
    Video graphics
    Integrated Graphics*Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed.
    Supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards.
    Either integrated graphics or the PCI Express x16 slot are usable at one time; they are not usable concurrently.
    DVI and VGA ports (Can be used at the same time).
    The integrated graphics differ by processor

    The answer is no, not available. If you wish more, you can upgrade video card using the PCI Express x16 slot . Your machine has 300W PSU, you need to buy a card which can run with 300W PSU otherwise you need a new PSU.

  • 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.

    The current version of Mavericks is 10.9.4. To update yours download and install OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
    You can upgrade RAM to the maximum your model will support. That would be:
    Maximum Memory
    16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    About OS X Memory Management and Usage
    Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory & determine how much RAM is used
    OS X Mavericks- About Activity Monitor
    Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently.  It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster.  What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent.  It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.
