Okay, so after I got my laptop (brand new), the gpu inside is a Nvidia GT 540M, capable of reaching 1gb (1024mb) Vram, but, when I go into my BIOS, it says I only have 128mb vram. I can't change the value, either.

Anyone know why?

Specs of my laptop:

Acer Aspire 5750g
WIndows 10 Pro
NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M
Intel HD Graphics 3000
12g DDR3 ram
15.3" LED Screen
697gb NTFS HDD

If you have dedicated graphics device and dedicated video memory you should use that and MINIMIZE the memory allocated to the Intel graphics so that RAM is available for OS usage. The only benefit there is to having the Intel graphics is your battery life may be better when using it rather than the GT540M
