#Is there anything I can do to increase the 3D Power of my GPU & Allocate more VRAM to it?

You can allocate more vram, but idk how much that would help

#

Oh vram is maxed

#

I have never used an igpu for gaming so I don’t know how to allocate more vram

#

Shared memory?

#

You don’t want to allocate too much or there won’t be enough regular ram for your cpu

#

How much total ram do you have

#

So with 1 allocated to the gpu right now, that leaves 7. I wouldn’t do much more than 0.5GB extra

#

I hope it goes well

#

Maybe look up allocating more ram to an igpu

#

Understandably

#

I’d trust a bios change more

@bronze geyser On the shared memory, it has more than 3GB free. The shared memory is the only thing you could allocate more of. This looks like the GPU core being maxed

#

The OS does that automatically if it gets close to running out as long as you have free RAM

#

You are not close to using up the shared memory

#

You can't affect the top one

#

Only the bottom one. The top one is hardware

#

I know

#

No, you can can only affect the shared memory

#

The dedicated memory is hardware

#

Unless it's some weird hardware reseveration in the BIOS.

#

But adding more to that shouldn't affect performance when it has free shared memory

#

@bronze geyser Screenshot the RAM section

#

Ok. So we can check the BIOS if we can reserve more, but it's not really going to do much. Especially when you only have 8GB RAM

#

What model laptop is it?

#

Yeah, probably not. I hate Medion laptops.

#

Them and Clevo

#

I can't find anyone showing off the BIOS on youtube

#

The only thing that dedicated option should do, is prevent games from going "You don't have enough VRAM".

#

It should have no or very little impact on performance

#

Which game?

#

Which CPU is it btw?

#

I think you just need more RAM honestly

#

That shows what the hardware is capable of (Of course you don't know if your laptop has lower power limits which affects performance)

#

It does, that's where it takes the VRAM from. If you are out of RAM, it prioritizes RAM.

#

You are simplifying the issue. If it had more RAM, it would just use more of the shared memory.

#

The dedicated RAM isn't really dedicated, it's more of a compatibility feature.

#

This says 2/2 are in use

#

Can't 100% trust it so worth having a look though

Just try it
