    Go into your BIOS and check for 'dedicated video memory'

    memory


    All my card is dedicated to graphics (1Gb)

    Do your Bios support Full ram usage for 64bit??

    What make are your Bios??

    A Bios update did it for me,went from installed memory 3.25gb to 4gb so system didnt chew up ram

    I have a question for you??

    How did you get shared system memory so low??

    Because he only has 2 GB of memory according to his specs, and that number is set by Windows dynamically based on the amount of system ram,

    And to answer the original question, no you cannot increase the amount or memory on a video card. That can only be done with onboard video, and even then it and/or the bios has to support being able to allocate more system memory to graphics (not possible with most of Intel's latest graphics solutions as they have a fixed dedicated amount, and increases dynamically based on graphics need/usage).

    Me double checking was just simply making sure the bios didn't have the dedicated feature on

    Also since my card is a much more powerfull card it has no use for that

    I saw you have a issue with yours and the memory is really low did you check you're pci e set up ?

    basicly im saying exactly what the previous responses were just turn that feature off you should gain something if anything Disable it

    The only way is to by a card that has twice the memory of your current card. You cannot add memory to a video card.

    That number you are looking at in the WEI (total video memory) is a combination of what is physically on the card, with the "shared" amount determined by the total amount of system ram and is not user configurable (explained in more detail in the link I posted previously).
