Sharing Memory in UEFI Bios

[44borna]

So I have an Asus cm1745 it's great I love it. I live gaming with it aswell. But my GPU has doesn't have a lot of dedicated memory and I have 7 gb of ram available of my 8 so I was going fo dedicate more to it. i watched some videos on people going into their bios's and finding an option that says "Share Memory" and they click it and have an option of either, 128, 256, 512 or 1024. But I do not know where to find it in Bios. So I am hoping someone with UEFI bios experice could help me out.
Thank you 🙂

First of all the trick you are talking about is mostly for embedded Gpu solutions to the motherboard.
or ones that can be contained as part of a Cpu/gpu die package .

Intel I5 to I7 cpus or the Amd cpu`s with combined, embedded Apu cores.

If you have a Pci-e based card in your system in most cases it does not use system memory but the dedicated memory fitted on the graphics card it`s self of a fixed memory size.

If an on board shared graphics Gpu then i`ts just simply a case of going into the bios and reducing the amount of system memory reserved for the on board Gpu, graphics solution.

Just have a look around the bios you will finf the option in a listing of devices that says IGP or IGPFX.

It might not matter. Windows can dynamically allocate more or less memory to the APU as it needs it. I think. Some one correct me if I'm wrong on that one. I seem to recall reading that somewhere on here. Not older Windows, but according to the Asus product page you have an APU and Win 8. At least to start with you may have 8.1 at this point. That's besides the point though. If you have added a dedicated video card, you can't change the memory on that, if you're using the graphics of the APU then you won't need to allocate more memory to it, either way, it's all good on it's own. No need for you to go in and play with it. If you want a little more graphics muscle, you may want to read up on Xfire with that APU and what PSU you may need to run that successfully.

I have a built In GPU in my CPU. my CPU is the A10 5700 and my GPU IS Radeon 7660D. I had a look around My BIOS but I still can't any option that enables me to Share Memory.
