graphic card VRAM allocation

[Albert3677]

My laptop HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14-fh0023TU (BDQPA) is using a graphic card of Intel(R) Arc(TM) 140V GPU (16GB). Recently I purchased Canon Neural Network Processing Tools which requires Graphics card with DirectX 12 capability (VRAM 4 GB or higher). Since the graphic card of my laptop is titled 16GB, I thought it is compatible and bought the software. But I was unable to use the software. I checked and found actually the dedicated video memory was only 128MB. Anyway I can allocate more VRAM to the graphic card?

Hi @Albert3677 

These cards take up the available memory installed in the notebook. Some Intel graphics cards use 16 GB of that memory, and others can use up to 32 GB. Memory cannot be allocated. The program I purchased should work.

Despite the graphic card claims a storage of 16GB, when i checked on display adaptor property, only 128MB dedicated VRAM is available. This is far not enough for Canon Neural Network Processing tool, which need 4GB VRAM. Anyway I can reallocate 4 out of the original 16GB back to display adaptor?

I don't think you understood my answer. This graphics card is integrated into the processor, which means it doesn't have dedicated memory. The 16 GB it claims to have refers to the fact that it can take up to 16 GB (max.) of the RAM installed on the motherboard, but it does this automatically. You can't assign it because then the laptop would have no memory left for other processes.
