Dedicated video memory can be lost due to several factors, such as system updates or driver changes that reset settings, or if the graphics card is removed and reinserted. Additionally, if a game or application is uninstalled, it may free up some of the dedicated memory. Overheating can also cause the GPU to throttle its performance, effectively reducing available memory temporarily. Lastly, if the GPU is failing, it may not properly allocate its dedicated memory.
you can't or you can get more ram but it only increases shared memory video!
One that is used only for the video, rather than a chunk of the main memory which is shared between various tasks.
Yes, dedicated memory is always better then shared (or integrated) edit answer after editing the question: but what is the shared memory option is much bigger than the dedicated option? (See edited question)
Most likely the other remaining MB is dedicated for games.
VRAM is an acronym for 'Video RAM' which is the high speed computer memory dedicated to a computer's graphics hardware. Some systems use a portion of the computers normal memory for this, and others have dedicated memory for this.
change it by bios first you need a dedicated graphics memory otherwise you8 cant
Most if not ALL modern video/graphics cards use both RAM from the MoBo and The dedicated RAM on the card.
yes as long is dedicated, is better
dedicated memory is memory which is only connected to the GPU. changing shared memory to dedicated memory would involve rewiring the laptop, which would be far more expensive and far more effort than buying dozens of laptops with dedicated memory.
The minimum memory a video adapter needs can vary depending on the intended use and resolution. For basic tasks such as web browsing or office applications, a video adapter may require as little as 512 MB to 1 GB of memory. However, for gaming or high-resolution video editing, a video adapter typically needs at least 4 GB to 8 GB of dedicated memory for optimal performance. Ultimately, the required memory will depend on the specific applications and resolutions being used.
No
That's correct, it will upgrade your video memory and not your system memory.
