1050 gtx 2gb vram

[ghostrunner1990]

I was looking at the hp support assistant. I notice that it said my video card had 4167 MB of vram.  I understood when I bought my laptop that I was getting only 2 GB of vram. I was wondering though which number is correct. If the larger number is correct how would I be able to access it?

As I understand you are looking to know more about vram on your pc, and you would like to how to access this, don't worry I'll be really glad to help you with this,

Please view this video that explains how to check the VRAM: http://hp.care/2gZARGR NOTE: This is a 3rd party link, so please ignore the ads.

HP PC's use a customized BIOS setting (Tattooed BIOS) of which some features including overclocking and increasing the VRAM are locked.

This is done in the best interest of safeguarding the PC for the optimal performance and not to cause any extensive component failure.

To conclude, the VRAM on your PC is already shared with a specific value and its locked and cannot be changed.

I hope this information helps. Let me know if you need any further assistance. I'l be more than happy to help.

It's been a pleasure interacting with you and I hope you have a good day ahead.
