If you are a lover of computer games, then before purchasing a laptop for gaming purposes, ask the speed of the video card. In addition, for games and watching movies in HD-quality you will need a video card equipped with a video screen. It is worth noting that it is impossible to change this device in a laptop (more powerful). However, you can try to improve the performance of the video card yourself.

Video cards in computers are two species - integrated and discrete. If the video card is integrated, it is possible to improve its memory by changing the settings in the BIOS. This can be done only if there is enough powerful RAM in the laptop. Since integrated maps do not have their own memory, then "pull" resources operational. If "RAM" is not enough, you should not add video memory at its expense. It only worsens the work of the laptop as a whole, will reduce its performance.

To enter the BIOS, turn on the computer and press the DELETE button several times in a row. Find the "Video RAM" string and press the "ENTER" key. You must have a string in which you can determine how the script card can use the video card. Mark the desired value. Next store the settings and restart the laptop. This operation should lead to an increase in the memory card.

If you have a discrete video card, the method described above is not suitable for you, since these types of video cards are equipped with memory chips and the volume is not subject to the latter increase. However, you can get out of the situation. To do this, let's try to increase the speed of the video card. First you need to download the program for overclocking the speed of the video cards. For example: Atitool, Riva Tuner, MSI Afterburner.

Further procedure Consider at the example of Atitool because it is most convenient to use. After running it, you will see the starting window in which you want to select the "Acceleration" tab. Next, locate the MEMORY CLOCK menu or in new, Russian-speaking programs - "speed speed". Move the pointer to the right to the right (or up, depending on the interface). Click "OK".

New settings can be checked immediately in action. In the Program menu, select "Open 3D Window" section. After that, the process of testing the video card will begin. You need to follow the changing images on the screen - if stains or distortion appear, it means that you "took" too much memory acceleration. To set another value, repeat the algorithm by setting a smaller indicator. If the test you have passed successfully - the video card is memory coping. You can try to increase the acceleration rate by moving the pointer to the right.

Practically find out the permissible frequency of the card memory, passing 3D test. After deciding with the makismal value, save the settings.
If all your actions did not bring the desired result, and you need a powerful video card - you will have to buy a new laptop with a more suitable device.
