Can We Increase Memory Of Inbuilt Gfx Card

If you check in the BIOS, it will sometimes let you modify the amount of RAM that your onboard graphics uses. Keep in mind on board graphics simply isn't suitable for most graphically intensive applications.

Your knowledge was much appreciated on this topic. Here, have a goat.

Should have said this in my first post but there is a good chance that you can increase the video memory of your onboard(integrated) graphics, just tell us the full name of your motherboard and how much ram you have in your computer and we will try and find out for you.

Please avoid giving out goats in the future as this is against Forum policy. instead, please distribute kittens and puppies as we have limitless supplies.

Ok heres how you increase the # of ram.


Turn on the computer and press f5. Go into performance menu and select Inbuilt graphics card. Then go to memory, then select up to 64MB of ram to use for your video card.

I have chose to cover all model numbers.


Press f1, f2,f3,f4,f5,f6,f7,f8,f9,f10,f11,f12
In the bios, Go to Perfomance, general options, Integrated options, basic config, General config. Then go to .... ah you get the point...


I HOPE.

hay this is a serous thread. please do not hijack it with meaningless comments and interjectories. This man needs help pronto and I intend to fulfill my commitments I made to THG!



DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS IS A WORK ZONE.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I was not even trying to be informative. Much like the original poster in asking the question the first 100 or so times. But he recently posted his config, so voila. Besides, Compita (or someone, at least) told him to increase Aperture Size. And, at the end of the day, based on something he posted earlier, he's just due for an upgrade and increasing it is not likely to result in material performace gains.

I think this is one of those cases where people should ask the real question (e.g. how do I improve performance in X). Seems to me that increasing memory allocated to GFX is a means, and not an end. Oh, and I think it's built-in, not inbuilt. I can think of, perhaps, inbred, as the word where in- is a prefix and not a suffix. But English is not my first language anyway...

check the bios options
most of the time you can choose between following options:

8/16/32/64/128 MB shared

maybe 8 and 128 isn't available for you, depends on the mobo

so, it's not possible to choose something like 12 or 48,..

would you post please, why you need more video ram?

maybe you can better put an AGP/PCI-e GFX-card with 128 MB in your system.

if you mean the increasing the RAM on your AGP/PCI-e card, you can't
unless you've got some old matrox card, some of them can, but the it's cheaper to plug in a decent new card.

reply to Comptia_Rep:
correct me if i'm wrong but the aperture size ain't the memory for the gfx card, it's the RAM used between the gfx memory and the swap file on the drive.
but if you use onboard graphics, the graphics memory and de aperture size both will be the computers RAM.

To heck with the kittens and puppies. Well the puppies are ok if they're attached to a woman. We want more women as gifts.
If its good enough for a third world country then its good enough for us, women as gifts FTW!

ROFL You have no idea what his computer is do you? PCI-e? C'mon at least read his posts before you give advice.

Anyways, It looks like you have an Aristo motherboard, of which I can not look up at work (foren). And talon was correct, Apature size is not the word I was looking for, and I cant remember what it is. Realisticly, you most likely can not change memory usage on that board, and if you could, it would not be significant (options should be 1,2,4,8). If that board had an AGP slot, get an older AGP card, if not get a PCI graphics card to improve your performance.

Otherwise, play around in the bios untill you see something related to the graphics (card) and change the value higher.

:wink:

You are right, of course, re: "integrated" term.

Also, I did not think Aperture was the correct term, but I Compita obviosuly has more experience. He misused the term, and I proliferated misinformation - sorry. Not that it really hurt anyone (oh, and if it weren't Compita-please forgive me for mentioning your name; it's unimportant, really).

Yeah, upgrade, or what Compita said. All the way. (if you need to increase integrated memory memory allocation, you've probably outgrown integrated graphics in the first place).

Many i810 boards are set to automatically use 8Mb for video and then dynamically take more as needed (quite often up to 64MB)

Of course this won't actually do anything but make you lose your RAM.

More video memory is for running a higher res, both in 2d and 3d. 8MB should run up to 1600x1200 at 32bit for 2d, so its enough for non-professional monitors.

For 3d it won't help you do jack. The onboard (i810) video barely renders dx7 at 640x480, so giving it all the ram in the world won't help at all.

You want more video performance, buy a discreet card. If you don't have an AGP sot, get a GeForce 5500 PCI card.

If its a laptop, forget about it.

hey man i want know if i can increase my memory of inbuilt gfx by shring memory of Ram Pls help me if u know or we can't


u sir r lame

-Troll
-shouldnt own a computer
-TROLL


and no

What is that supposed to mean?

Am I wrong?

We already have video cards that can't utilize the 512MB they come with. (7600gs 512MB, X1600pro 512MB) Video memory is only useful if the GPU can take use of it and the ram is clocked at an adequate speed.

Otherwise, its just for marketing. People think the more ram it has the faster is goes

I argued with a guy for an hour one day because he wanted more video ram for his old pentium iii laptop so he could play today's games. He got pissed when I told him if it was possible to add more, it wouldn't help

you made great points i hope he read what you typed

Thanks :) 

Anyway, I'm out. Tired of this thread. Night all

You may be able to change the amount of ram your on-board video uses in the bios,But it won't be significant and on-board video actually sucks at everything but the most basic games.Anything requiring intense video graphics will bog down huge so I suggest you buy a video card to put in the agp slot if you have one.Otherwise buy a new MB and then video card and go from there.Goodluck.
