Video cards are integrated (built into the computer motherboard) and discrete. The integrated video card does not have its own memory and uses the computer's RAM. Such a board is much less powerful than discrete cards. But this does not mean that she is completely powerless in video games. If you have purchased a powerful computer with an integrated video card, you can increase its memory.
Instructions
Step 1
Turn on your computer. Once enabled, press the Delete button on the keyboard. This will take you to the BIOS menu. Now in this menu you need to find the Video Ram parameter. Based on the hardware you are using, as well as the BIOS version, this setting may be in different sections. Also, similar to the Video Ram parameter, there can be the name Shared Memory, that is, the allocated memory. Owners of older computers should take into account that their motherboards may not be equipped with the function of allocating memory from the RAM. In this case, the memory of the integrated video card is fixed and cannot be changed in any way.
Step 2
If you find this parameter, press the Enter key on it and select the required amount of memory that will be transferred from the RAM. Depending on the model of the built-in video card, the amount of memory may be limited. When you have selected the amount of memory you need, exit the BIOS. Save your settings before exiting. The computer will restart. After starting it, the memory will be added. At the same time, the RAM will become smaller, or rather, part of it is now working on the need for video.
Step 3
If with an increase in the memory of the video card you did not notice an increase in performance, then it is better to return the previous indicator of the memory of the board. This can be done in exactly the same way.
