Hello Shaboury, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You should be able to increase your video ram in your computer BIOS. Take a look on it.
Anyway, the minimum graphics requirements for this game are:

ATI Radeon 3870 or higher, Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT or higher, with 512MB VRAM.

These are old dedicated high-end dedicated graphics cards, but they should work good with today games, maybe with some compromises between graphics quality and performance.
I'm saying this to you because you have an integrated graphics card, which is not designed to play heavy graphics games (in this case, Chivalary: Medieval Warfare).
You have the Intel Graphics HD 3000 integrated GPU, which is comparable to a Radeon HD 5450 and a GeForce GT 9400, which are low-end dedicated graphics cards. Integrated graphics card are NOT designed for gaming.

I'm not sure your integraded GPU can handle this game.

What type of issues are you experiencing?
And, is your game copy an original one?

But you won't download it, true? I'm telling it to you because in this forum piracy is not admitted....

Anyway, don't expect to play these games with a playable framerate. some of them could not start too.

In your BIOS, in Advanced settings or in Chipset settings, you should find the settings which let you change the dedicated video memory...

What is your actual video RAM amount?

 

[Shaboury]

My dedicated video ram is 64 mgb and my Ram is 8.0Gb

 

[Chalky Emultion]

...in this case, increasing a little your video RAM will help running some applications, but don't expect a big performance increase. 512 MB should be OK for your video card.

have you re-checked in BIOS if there are these options?

Ok When i press tab when starting up it brings the windows boot settings not the bios menu and in the windows boot settings it says choose an operating system to start with And i choose between windwos 7 ( my only operating system)and there is tools which is memory diagnostic and i check it and it starts scanning after the scanning the computer starts normally

Never mind This i fixed it But i cant find the setting that you mentioned

when you start your computer, press "ESC" or "F2" (or other keys, like "F5", depending of your pc) and you will enter in the bios. In the bios, with your keyboard arrows, navigate in it and search for an option called "video RAM", "shared memory" or similar.

If you give me the exact model name of your laptop, I can help you more.

 

[Shaboury]

It's Toshiba Satellite P755

 

[Chalky Emultion]

ok.

Just to be sure, go in control panel > system and security > system > windows experience index.
Under your base score, there is a small printer icon with a link: "View and print detailed performance and system information"...click on it. a new window will open.

Scroll down the window until you find the voice "graphics":
I need to know the amount of total graphics memory, dedicated graphics memory, system dedicated memory and shared graphics memory.
If you can post a screenshot it would be better.

Sorry i didnt reply earlier i didnt notice page 2 Im really sorry Im new Im really sorry again

Don't worry
If you didn't see any options to configure in your BIOS, you can't change video RAM quantity. Your dedicated graphics memory is 64 MB, and the system shares 1632 MB with the video card to help it if the 64 MB dedicated RAM are not enough.

 

[Shaboury]

So it's variable ,relying on the Game im playing and the requirements of the game and will it be able to run assasins creed 3 (even if not in optimum graphics)

No, Assassin's Creed III requires a discrete dedicated GPU to run properly.
The best Intel HD Graphics (Intel HD 4000) is comparable to a low end GPU.

It could run, but at a ridicolous speed.

Just to help out >

There probably are options but OP has got to read their manual.

On my AMD/Asus FM2 motherboard the Bios does NOT reveal any other options until set to reveal under one of the settings!

Went from 512k basic setup to 2GB system ram reserved for vid/graphics!

This may be the Bios option for others reading this thread!
