Hello,
I'm recently upgraded to an i5 2400 on a msi h61 motherboard. Used most of my pc budget for the upgrade so I have to wait a month or so before I can get a decent gpu. Thought I'd use the integrated graphics in the meantime and play some older games.
While trying to run KOTOR 2 the configure tab threw out that the graphics memory was not enough, stating it needed at least 128vram. I right clicked on the desktop and opened the intel graphics options tab and under information saw that the maximum memory was 256mb. I tried setting this higher in the bios, but it was limited to 256 there aswell. Found the following on Intel's website:
"How much graphics memory does my computer have?
Intel® graphics do not have dedicated memory but utilizes some of the computer's system memory. The amount of memory used for graphics may be a fixed amount or may vary up to a maximum amount. It depends on if your computer manufacturer has configured your computer to use a fixed amount, a dynamic amount (varying up to a maximum amount), or a combination of both fixed and dynamic amounts of graphics memory." and:
"Maximum Graphics Memory**
2nd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® HD Graphics 3000/2000
(Paired with Intel® 6 Series Chipsets) Up to 1 GB on XP"
My question thus is: Is the graphics memory on the h61 mainboards limited or can they use the dynamic amount?
