Sorry for bad English but it should be enough to understand clearly. My graphics card is Intel G45/G43 express chip-set and is a integrated graphics card. Recently I found that i wasn't even using half the total amount of vram i had (1695mb) and was only using Mb for dedicated ram. I wish to dedicate more ram to it so I can play a little more demanding games such as cs-go or sky-rim elder scrolls. I know that I have to go to the Bios/Cmos configuration but nothing will show regarding graphics. I have the default motherboard that comes with the dell inspiron 560 and now have 8GB ram. More than enough to dedicate more ram to vram. However my problem is that i cannot find such settings in the cmos or bios configurations.

I have taken pictures of what the bios or cmos looks like. Are there certain motherboards that don't allow access to these certain part of the configuration. I cannot find it anywhere. How else can i dedicate more vram?

If there are no options in the BIOS, you can't dedicate more RAM to the video processor.
Even if you had an option to add more RAM to be dedicated to the video processing, it will be no use to you for games. You need to buy a real video card. If you have the tower model, you should have a 300 watt power supply, something like a GT 730 GDDR5 will be good for a budget upgrade, or maybe a used Radeon 7750, both will be OK to match with your CPU.

However is there a way to do it? Even if I cannot, I would still like to know if I can or cannot with this computer.
