Recently i looked at my intel visual bios and found out that there was an option for graphics.
It was like minimum graphics option.
My default graphics was 128mb.
But there were options till 1 GB.
So my question is will changing it give a bump on performance or may it cause serious errors??
Please help!!!!

My config is
I5 4440
Intel DB85FL mobo
4 gb ram(3.69 gb usable)
1 tb HDD
Coolermaster case (cm force 251)
Coolermaster psu 450w

I had tried major games on my pc !!!!
I had finished watchdogs and badblood dlc At low settings, Farcry 4 (medium),crysis 2 (low) arkham origins(low) ,tomb raider (medium) etc @ 1600x900 resolution
Can i also go for gta 5????

With only 4gb of ram in your machine, dedicating 1gb to video memory may actually harm your performance!

I would suggest you
1/ upgrade to 8gb ram, then
2/ up the shared video memory to 512mb or 1gb


Also, playing at 900p is almost as demanding as 1080p. If you really want to play with HD4600, 720p may be best

You can max out VRAM to 1gb but it will deduct it from 4gb RAM that you have. RAM will share the memory with the igpu. Most games will require all of your 4gb so with the igpu maxed out to 1gb, you're left with 3gb of RAM.

Try to play with it and see what the best combination will work for you. More RAM or more VRAM. Better yet upgrade your RAM
