How to increase the integrated graphics on AMD a8 7600?

[rsinghchauhan756]

I was previously using AMD a8 7600 with gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-S1 along with 4gb ram 1600MHz. now I an using another 4gb ram in the other slot. The ipu previously showed 512mb memory. But after increasing my ram, why doesnot it increased? because i heard that it can go upto 2gb.how can I increase it?

in the BIOS there should be a setting to increase the RAM allotment for the built in GPU

Enter BIOS Setup to set the following items under the Peripherals\GFX Configuration menu.
-- Set Integrated Graphics to Force.
-- Set UMA Frame Buffer Size to 512MB or above.
(I would say to use 2GB of video RAM, but you don't have much memory)
Save the settings and exit BIOS Setup. Restart your computer.

My friend had good luck using Dual-Graphics with his AMD APU.
If you get an AMD graphics card it will work together with the A8 for better performance.

Adding more RAM does not automatically allocate more memory to the iGPU - - you have to allocate the amount manually in the appropriate section of the BIOS configuration utility.
