Increase Vram Win 10: How to Increase VRAM in Windows 10

The best way to increase VRAM is to buy a graphics card. If you are using low-performance integrated graphics, upgrade the graphics card. However, if this is not your choice, take a look at two ways to increase VRAM in Windows 10 below.

Method 1: Specify the VRAM capacity in the BIOS

The first method is to adjust the VRAM in the BIOS. Access the BIOS and search for an option in the menu called Advanced Features , Advanced Chipset Features or the like. Inside this menu, find Graphics Settings , Video Settings or VGA Share Memory Size .

These features have an option to adjust the amount of memory allocated to the GPU, which is typically 128MB by default, try increasing this number to 256MB or 512MB if there's enough space. However, not all CPUs or BIOSes have this option.

Method 2: T for fake VRAM

Because most integrated graphics solutions automatically adjust to use the amount of system RAM it needs, the details reported in the Adapter Properties window are not really important. In fact, for integrated graphics, Dedicated Video Memory is completely "fictional". The system reports that fake values simply let the game see when checking how much VRAM is available.

Therefore, users can modify a Registry value to change the VRAM capacity that the system reports for games. This does not really increase VRAM, it only modifies the virtual value. If a game refuses to move because "there is not enough VRAM", increasing this value can fix that.

Open the Registry Editor window by entering regedit into the Start menu.

Go to the following position:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareIntel

Right-click on the Intel folder on the left bar and select New > Key , name GMM for this key. Then select the new GMM in the left pane, right-click on the right pane, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value , name it DedicatedSegmentSize and give it a value, make sure to select the Decimal item. In MB, the minimum value is 0 (disable the entry) and the maximum value is 512 . Set this value, restart the computer.

These methods may not work, but they are still worth a try if there is a problem. Without a lot of system RAM and having trouble running games with integrated graphics, try adding some additional RAM for integrated graphics to use.

I wish you all success!
