How to enlarge video memory

How to enlarge video memory

Video memory is one of the technical characteristics of the graphics card (video card). It stores the data that is required to play the image on the monitor. If the video memory is not enough, the quality of graphics is reduced and the translation may be illustrated or incorrectly displayed. To solve these problems, try to increase the amount of RAM graphics cards. But it will not help increase productivity with an insufficient bandwidth of the video card tire.

1
To figure out how to enlarge video memory on a computer or laptop, find out which graphic card is installed in it. From the type of adapter depends on how its volume increases. In light portable gadgets (netbooks, ultrabooks), compact internal (integrated) video adapters are usually built-in. They are also equipped with budget laptops. The presence of such a board is the joint layout of the HDMI, LAN, USB connectors. In powerful gaming laptops and desktop PCs are installed external (discrete) graphic adapters. They are massive and productive, have their own cooling system.

2
If the video memory of the integrated board is distributed using the "Shared Memory" technology, then its volume changes manually. In this case, the easiest way to use the tools built into the operating system. Check if Catalyst Control Center is installed in your OS version. To do this, go to the "Control Panel" → "Equipment and Sound", in the "Devices and Printers" section, select Device Manager. It lists all devices connected to the computer.

3
The graphics card is located under "Display Adapters." Some models have more than one video card. Right-click on the adapter you are interested in and select "Properties" section from the drop down menu. In the tab "drivers" have a point "frame buffer" or "frame buffer UMA». It exhibited the maximum amount of memory that will be available for your video card.

4
If the specified path is not a frame buffer, to change the current settings will have UMA via BIOS. When you enter the basic input-output system, find the section titled "Integrated device", and in it setting "BIOS VGA sharing memory". The name may be slightly different depending on the version of the BIOS and the computer model. Next, select the appropriate volume. Maximum stand is not recommended, try to put twice as much than the specified default. Then save your changes and exit the BIOS.

5
Enlarge video memory discrete graphics cards using the settings can not be. To make such a video card more productive, use a special program. suitable for Windows XP free ATITool. Improve the performance of newer cards on other operating systems will help MSI Afterburner. Its functionality allows you to gradually increase the clock speed of the processor external video card. This leads to an increase in its productivity without changing the amount of video memory.

If you change the parameters of the graphics card, be careful. Excessive load can disable it. Note that the increase in performance integrated graphics is due to memory. If it is not enough work to slow down the computer. Old discrete card is almost impossible to "drive." If your efforts have not led to satisfactory results, obsolete components can only be replaced.

Anton, it is impossible to make it possible to make it possible. It is so easy to take and add gig's RAM to the video card. This is the same as to improve the frequency of GP (graphics processor) by reducing the clock frequency of the CPU (central processor, and nothing to think about )

And perhaps, just to make it take a computer that you have more video memory. I just have 1 GB VP and when I am trying to increase the resolution in GTA V I write to me: not enough video memory to change the settings. And there is only 30 megabytes.

Answer

    1GB is a rounded digit, its exact number: 1024 MG
    As I know GTA V, the minimum requirements of 1024 mg video memory, so no mods, etc. must not be!
    And moreover, this is the same minimum requirements and will be laughing, do not try to dispersed the video card - you do not work out! If you try to do it from you 80% she burns and kapets to her.
