As mentioned above in the amd a8 7600 integrated graphics is 2gb but my dedicated graphics memory is 512mb I'm using a 4gb ddr3 ram so why does my dedicated graphics memory is lower than the actual graphics and will this effect gaming i am a casual gamer and just play games as Counterstrike, gta 5,warframe etc but i want to try watch dogs and fifa 16 so will the dedicated graphics memory cause trouble or it will increase as running a heavy games etc

The A8-7600 relies on the DDR3 RAM installed on the motherboard for graphics tasks. Increasing dedicated memory on the an APU A8-7600 reduces the amount of RAM available to the rest of the system. For this reason, I recommend that you use at least 8GB of DDR3-2133MHz dual channel memory with the A8-7600.

The dedicated memory for the processor graphics can be increased in your BIOS on your motherboard. I would think this would make little, if any, noticeable difference in performance. The Radeon R7 A8-7600 graphics are typical weak performance compared to a discrete video card.

An APU shares memory with that which is physically available and depending on the setting in your BIOS, you can have that memory go all the way up to 2GB(maximum). SO i BIOS you may want to see how much is allocated towards your APU.

On that note, you should list your specs as:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
OS:
^ you should try and be specific about the components I've asked to list.

CPU: amd a8 7600
Motherboard:asus A68HM-K ddr3 FM 2+
Ram:4gb ddr 3 1833mhz
SSD/HDD: seagate 500GB
GPU:gt 210 but the graphics is set to the igpu
PSU: corsair 450watts
OS: Windows 7
And again i want to tell i can play games like csgo, gta5, warframe, paladins, la noire, crysis 3,battlefield 4 etc without a lag on low to med settings but i want to try games like watchdogs, cod aw, fifa16, doom 4etc so i want to know if that 512mb dedicated graphics memory can handle them because I'm not in a mood of upgrade will upg in 4-5 months or so but until then wanna play them

If your question is about shared versus dedicated memory for video, I don't believe changing the amount of memory on weak processor graphics would make any noticeable difference. If you aren't using DDR3-2133MHz memory and don't set the memory parameters in the BIOS, (memory clock, DRAM Timings, DRAM voltage), then your performance may suffer.

So it means even if i increase the dedicated video memory to its fullest through bios that wont make much of a difference right?

Basically your APU ipgu is better than the GT 210, to be frank the games may run but they will probably have very low frame rates even with low settings @720p except for csgo that's an older game and you be able to get 30-60fps depending on settings. If you don't want to upgrade for in 4-5 month then don't bother buying those games now just wait until you can upgrade as those games should also be cheaper.

For the games you want to play, the increase in Vram in BIOS for the APU will not give you any advantage. You should look to a dedicated GPU and in essence a bettwer platform since the A8 will bottleneck an entry level dedicated GPU.
