Allocating more RAM to integrated graphics - HP Pavilion 15-n225nr TouchSmart Notebook PC

[diegocaxudo]

Hi, I got a HP Pavilion 15-n225nr TouchSmart Notebook PC, which is great for workloads but (AMD A10 quad-core processor @ 2.10 ghz, Came with 8gb of ram and 750gb HDD), However, recently I've been trying to do some gaming but this laptop has an intgrated GPU. I've read that upgrading the RAM won't do much but I ordered a second 8gb ram card because I want to increase framerate by every single FPS that I can ge and I'm getting it soon, So I'll have 16gb of RAM and the fact that it's going to be dual channel is a plus. I've also read that by upgrading the RAM you can upgrade the amount of ram that your integrated gpu uses as there will be more RAM available to use. I don't know If by upgradinng the RAM the VRAM will automaticly increase to or If I will be able to do it manualy, I read you could do this through the BIOS, I don't know for shure if it is possible.

So, Is it possible to increase the fraction of my RAM that my integrated graphics card uses?, if so, how?

If It's not possible what can I do to increase my FPS on gaming?, as I can't change to a dedicated GPU because it's a laptop.

Thanks in advance for any help.

According to the specs for your computer, up to 4195MB total graphics memory is the maximum that can be used. Whatever the dedicated amount is, is all that is available as dedicated memory. Typically, Windows controls the amount of system memory that is used by the video adapter. This means you won't be able to change any settings in the BIOS that will modify this. This isn't a gaming class computer and you are expecting to much from it.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Currently (8gb of RAM) GPU-Z says my graphics card has 768mb of memory. When I upgrade to 16gb, Will windows automatically use as much RAM for the graphics card as it considers it should be use? (would it increas at least a little bit?) or will Windows just keep the same amount? (as I won't be able to do anything manually)
