Dear Techs,

I just want to ask if its possible to allocate some of my graphic card's shared memory (3840 MB) to the dedicated memory (512 MB)? If its possible, may you please tell me how? Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,
Marcelo

Im sorry but it isnt possible.It is specifically made by the manufacturer that the card will have 512mb of dedicated memory.
that shared memory is used for different purposes and is not really in anyway the same as dedicated memory.

... there are certain BIOS that lets you change this on BIOS setup but sadly mine has no setting for this...
... I was hoping for some workaround, may some ATI control panel setting or something...
... PLEASE HELP! I'M BADLY DESPERATE!
