How to change RAM in BIOS?

How In My Bios Do I Change My Graphics Cards Ram if its 1GB and my BIOS is only Letting Me Go Up To 265mb?

  • I go to bios on my computer go to my graphic cards properties and i see its only running with 256mb of my cards memory when i have a 1gb i try to fix it but the highest itll go is 256 how do i take full advantage of my cards ram even if the method is forcful

  • Answer:

    I think what you are looking at is the on board video memory. every motherboard has a built in graphic processor which uses the system RAM as video memory. this limit can be adjusted in BIOS. This is what you're looking at. If you've installed a separate graphic card in the PCIe x16 slot on the motherboard which has 1GB Video Memory, then all you need to do is, get in to BIOS and change the display controller from On Board to PCI. Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for the graphic card and you're good to go.

If you have 1gig of video memory Im going to say that you are running a dedicated video card which has 1gig of Vram....i.e. A 1gig ATI Radeon 4850..... You can not change anything in the bios that effects the dedicated video card(just the PCIe slot frequency anyways which should be 100 by default) What your seeing is the on-board video that uses system memory to run,in your case its 256mb...But if your running a dedicated video card the on-board video should be disabled and that's it.... Run GPU-Z,Its a little app that you can download to your desktop,open it up and it will give you all the info on your video card,including the vram amount......Just delete it if you don't want to keep it after you get the info.......

In your BIOS you can select the amount of shared memory the system will use for on-board, integrated video. If you have a stand alone GPU it is unaffected by the settings in the BIOS since it is not the GPU in question. Ignore or disable the on board graphics in your BIOS. Then give GPU-Z a try. It will tell you all the specs and current running clocks of your GPU.
