Some desktop and mobile computers use integrated video adapters. Their use can significantly reduce the cost of a computer. In addition, the presence of such a device prolongs the laptop's work without recharging.
Instructions
Step 1
The main disadvantage of integrated video chips is their relatively weak performance. Built-in video adapters work using the computer's RAM. To improve the quality of graphics in some games, change the settings for the video card.
Step 2
Many integrated video cards initially use a small amount of RAM. When you launch a powerful graphics application, the device automatically picks up the right number of RAM segments. Change the maximum used volume. Restart your computer or laptop.
Step 3
Open the BIOS menu by pressing the desired key. As a rule, the description of the function keys is available in the first boot menu. After opening the main BIOS menu window, navigate to Advanced Chipset Features (Advanced Options).
Step 4
Please be aware that the names of certain items may differ depending on the model of your computer's motherboard.
Step 5
Now highlight the Frame Buffer Size field and press Enter. Set the value for the maximum amount of allocated memory. In most cases, it makes no sense to allow more than 30% of the total RAM to be used. This will only slow down your computer.
Step 6
Some versions of motherboards allow you to change not only the maximum, but also the minimum value of the allocated RAM. Open the AGP (PCI Express) menu and find the Apertura size field.
Step 7
Double the effective volume. If the video adapter is already using 256 MB, then changing this option will not bring the desired result.
Step 8
You can also change the parameters of the video adapter using the appropriate software. Download the program from the site of the motherboard or CPU manufacturer. Configure the integrated chip using the application of your choice.
