I need help allocating more Memory to my graphics card.

[Shrillcaleb153]

In my bios it gives me the option to change the allocated graphics memory so I thought hey that's awesome.... So I changed it to 512m instead of 128m In the property section of my graphics options it says I have 1028mb allocated but When I tried the "can I run it? for gta 5 it said it needed at least one gb of video memory which I have but it only recognized mine as only 128mb or something like that. my graphics is a intel HD 5500

You should try and download some more VRAM.

Jokes aside, VRAM isnt something you can increase like that - its a physical component of your graphics hardware.

I'm not to familiar with Intel integrated graphics but if that HD 5500 GPU is integrated into a CPU then it might well share RAM as the AMD APU's do. I know that with my 7850K you can specify how much of the RAM is shared. up to 2Gig.

I don't think I can help you much but perhaps posting your full system specs will help.

while intel graphics can use up to 2gb of systam ram it wont run gta v full stop anyway mate - it would be pretty much a slideshow

Lol slideshow would be bad, good thing I have a xbox lol1. but I atleast want to allocate that much.

Dont buy GTA V if you plan to play on that setup, it will not run well by any means.

yeah I knew it wouldn't be a good idea I just want a little more memory added to it.

Sorry buddy, your PC just aint gunna cut it if you want to play GTA:V.

Though it is a very well optimized game that scales well across all hardware, there still comes a point where you just havent got the power... even if youre giving her all shes got.. captain.

EDIT: Just seen your replies to the other, sorry for repeating!
