i have a laptop and i wanna increase its dedicated video memory. It says that total available video memory is 1792 but dedicated is zero. Since its a laptop there is no option in the BIOS to do so(i saw some tutorials but i think they are for desktops). Also i tried editing the registry but nothing happened. Please help. My specs:

i3 4010u mobile
6gb ram
intel hd 4400 graphics
Win 8.1 64bit
 
Solution
The igpu has no dedicated ram it has to share its memory from system ram. Some system allow you to set the minimum ram others are managed automatically. BTW increasing it's vram will not make the gpu faster.
