Any way to improve dedicated Video ram?

[lmayer33]

Hello I am trying to play the game surviving mars on my razer blade stealth, but everything ive looked up says that I need a minimum of 1000 mb of "dedicated video ram, but I only have around 120 mb. Since i have 16 Gb of ram total is there any way to sort of configure that to use more for graphics? if not will i be able to run this game reasonably on low settings?? appreciate any help thank you

Your vram goes up to 8gb because that's just how dvmt works so the amount isn't the issue. The igpu is weak and there is no way to make it better but you do exceed the minimum requirement for the game so it will be playable.

Unless your laptop has dedicated GPU (and you would know if you have one), the only way to is dedicate more system RAM for onboard GPU. That's usually done in BIOS settings.

The Razer Blade Stealth by itself is just an ultrabook with integrated graphics. Integrated graphics will use system RAM as VRAM, so you shouldn't run into any problems due to insufficient VRAM. The problem will be the poor gaming performance of integrated graphics.

It's marketed as a gaming laptop because it's designed to use a desktop GPU housed in the Razer Core V2 via its thunderbolt port. So you get an ultrabook laptop when you're traveling, a desktop GPU when you're at home. But it won't be cheap.

How could I do that in the BIOS? I know how to get to the bios but im not sure what to do once i get there to dedicate more ram.

Every BIOS is different, and I don't have your laptop.

It already goes up to 8gb so you don't need to change anything. It won't say 8gb because dvmt changes the amount based on need.
