Display Memory: 1326 MB

I tried this solution:

Dedicated Memory Reporting

The graphics driver now reports some amount of fictitious "dedicated" graphics memory to the operating system (128MB by default) to work around applications issues in a number of games. These games incorrectly look for some amount of "dedicated" graphics memory because they weren't coded with the unified memory architecture for processor graphics.

The amount reported can be modified or disabled if desired by changing the following registry value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intel\GMM, create a REG_DWORD value named "DedicatedSegmentSize". The value is interpreted as number of MB to report (0-512MB). A value of 0 disables reporting the dummy memory segment. If the registry key/value is not found, the driver will report the default 128MB

But it didn't work for me. Please help!

Please refer to my previous input, if you are not able to increase the memory from your BIOS I am afraid that there is no possibility to increase it.

As was answered in post # 4 by Amy, if there is no setting in the bios to set video memory, then there is no setting. If you have further questions, contact gigabyte support and ask them about THEIR BIOS.

Al_Hill thank you for your input.

/thread/109891 YoussefMaged, thanks for the picture. I do not see any setting to increase the video memory, so I am afraid that there is no possible way to change it.

Regards,

Amy.

Hello YoussefMaged,

In most cases, the computer manufacturer has already configured the system to use the maximum amount of graphics memory that is possible for your particular computer model. Sometimes you can change these values through BIOS level, if there are no options available in the BIOS then is not possible to change it. I would recommend checking with your computer manufacturer if there are tips on increasing the amount of graphics memory for your computer model.

Regards,

Amy.
