I recently purchased this laptop and I was interested in buying games to play on it. When I check the total available graphics memory, it says that only 128 MB is allocated for the video graphics memory, while 3989 MB is allocated for the shared system memory.  When I try to run a game on the laptop, the frame rate is very low, so I don't think enough MB is in the video graphics memory. Is there a way to transfer MB from shared system memory to video graphics memory? I attached a photo of the graphics information.

 

I'm not too tech-savvy, so any help here is appreciated.

Integrated video (iGPU) does not have room for keep VRAM, it relies on System. System will work this out and allocate/assign spare/available system RAM to VRAM automatically when required up to max limit. System will also take VRAM back when required. During the good old days, we could do this from BIOS but now OS is smarter.


The following document shows Max shared RAM for Intel iGPU versions
