Dedicated Video RAM

SG9 · Apr 7, 2014

I wasn't sure where to go for support. I am checking requirements for a PC game (Elder Scrolls Online). In which the CPU required is 2.0GHz, where as my laptop is 1.8GHz. Also the Dedicated Video Ram required is 512MB, my laptop has only 32MB according to (http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri). I meet the rest of the requirements. So my question is; what can I do to bump up VRAM? and do you think I could run the game to a adequate standard?

helpful if you give us your laptop spec or the make and model

IF it really only has 32MB VRAM, the only thing you can do is get a better PC. 32mb VRAM just will not cut it.

Thank you for the reply, just a standard laptop, not dedicated for gaming. Sony Vaio Fit 15E svF1521P2EB

i5-3337U it got a integrated gpu, should be able to change it in the bios, or it might just set it itself when it run the game.

VRAM is dedicated RAM controlled by integrated graphics on your CPU. It's not upgradable unless you have one of the rare laptops that you can pull apart. Even then, it's not worth it. Your computer is simply not going to run your game and even in the rare case it starts, it;s going to run so badly that it's not worth it

go into the bios, you should be able to up the shared ram from your system ram as you are using a IGPU - be prepared for a low fps experience trying to play ESO on that though.

So really is even if i up the shared in the BIOS, realistically it is not going to play to a decent enough standard?

rgd1101 · Apr 7, 2014

probably not, it a lite ultra book, not mean to play games like those.

There's a reason open world games take so much VRAM. There's a lot of open areas that have to be rendered and integrated stuff won't cut it.

Everyone has a different idea of what is acceptable, but really its not going to play well if you are using the integrated graphics - if at all.

When the minimum requirements is over 10 times what you have, I REALLY doubt that game will run at all.

I have an i5-2500k, if I use the IGP it is barely playable at low and the game looks terrible. The IGP on the 2500k is faster than the one in the i5-3337U (Over twice the base clock frequency).
I have my 2500k set to 256MB of VRAM, and the only thing I am doing is changing research during the work day. Not actual game play or combat.
