I have gigabyte h81m s1 motherboard. It has 1 gb of shared memory. What it means?
If I use gtx 650Ti 2 gb graphic card will this motherboard will only utilize 1 gb of it or 2gb?
I have intel i3 4130 and 4 gb 1600 mhz ram.
Sorry if I asked something stupid.

Thanks in advance

By "1GB shared memory" it means 1GB is the maximum amount of RAM the motherboard can use for graphics purposes when using onboard graphics (graphics integrated into the CPU - your CPU has Intel® HD graphics 4400). This is only of relevance when using integrated graphics.

When using a discrete graphics card, as you are with the 650ti, this naturally doesn't come into play; so don't worry, your graphics card will utilize its full 2GB of VRAM.
