Thread: How to extend Graphics Card Memory

As like the system memory, memory on a graphics card dictate how capably it can handle more workloads. Normally, the memory on a graphics card can’t be changed; it's everlastingly fixed to the card. Though, some graphics cards are built into a PC motherboard, allowing a part of system memory to be devoted to only the graphics card.

Changing the amount of devoted video memory can only be done by using the (BIOS) Basic Input/Output System, which is the system used for configuring motherboards.

Instructions:-

1. Restart your computer.

2. Open the BIOS by pressing the appropriate keyboard key when the system is starting up. This varies with every motherboard; refer to the manual or the manufacturer's website.

3. Look for a menu item that references hardware or video memory. Use the keyboard to navigate. There is a navigation legend located in every section of the BIOS to assist you. Reference the motherboard manual or the manufacturer's website if you can't find the appropriate setting.

4. Adjust the amount of video memory. You will be limited by the motherboard; it has a number of preset memory amounts to choose from. These cannot be altered.

5. Save settings and exit the BIOS.
