    « on: October 20, 2017, 12:26:59 AM »
    Hey guys i got a problem with my vedio card memory!
    when i check my display settings it shows-
    total availabe memory 256mb
    shared memory 192mb
    system memory 64mb
    So i wanted to know if i can decrease shared memory and increase system memory.

    In BIOS if its an integrated card you can go in and reduce. If its a video card that grabs system RAM paired to itself such as my GeForce 8400 GS use to allocate 256MB of system RAM paired with its 256MB to make it a 512MB video card, there is no way that i know of of disabling the Shared Memory feature of the video card.

    Which video Card or Integrated Video do you have? Which make/model computer if integrated?

      my card is intel (R) g31/g33 express chipset family
      I changed those things in the bios but the details are still the same.
      thankx for replying.

      If you reduce the memory allocation for the Integrated GPU, and then save changes it should then run on lesser shared memory for GPU and your system memory count should increase by that freed up. If its not working this way and your sure you save on exit, then I would replace the CMOS battery usually a 2032 and then go in and make necessary adjustments and then save settings and then reboot and it should hold with the value you specify for GPU shared memory allocation.
