VRAM into RAM

[infraeye]

Hello! I recently changed my pc to one with i7-4770 and I am waiting for my video, using the integrated graphics. All drivers seem to be up to date and I allocated 512 using RAM. I have 8 RAM, so 512 VRAM uses 4 GB. Is it safe to increase it up to 1GB VRAM using all the 8 RAM? PLEASE HELP I AM DYING INSIDE WITHOUT 1 VRAM.

Hi,

Also here is another resource with more information, How to Increase Dedicated Video RAM (VRAM) in Windows 10.

Hello, Evan’s article didn’t help me out since I already know how to increase it. The question was if I can increase it to 1024 since
256 = 2GB ram
512 = 4GB ram
1024 = 8GB ram should be
and I have 8 RAM on my PC currently.
veeg’s article was useful but not with the things I am in need right now. The question was if I am able to increase it 1024 if my PC has only 8 RAM. Is it safe and is it going to work?

I am not sure if your motherboard’s BIOS will allow you to increase it 1024 MB’s for the VRAM but if you have 8 GB’s of memory to pool from then yes 8 GB’s will be enough to use at least 1 GB of it as VRAM. Just set the GPU memory to the maximum allocation and see how much of your system RAM it uses.

I did it in the registry editor since there’s nothing in the BIOS. I made a registry key with 512 MB and it worked. Is it really safe since the pc is still new I don’t wanna **** it up?

Just open Task Manager and look at how much RAM your system has available. If you have more than 6GB’s of RAM available to use then you are good.
