Troubleshooting Change dedicated video memory to 512mb?

[RVS2]

I wanted to increase my dedicated video memory from 256mb to 512mb, for playing games. What i did :

regedit - hkey local machine - created GMM folder - selected dword(32)bitvalue - named the folder DedicatedSegmentSize - entered 512 mb - and restarted.
--With a 4gb ram, 512mb was the highest recommended value--

But instead of giving 512 mb it put 1536 mb instead.
I then again changed it to 256 mb, but it shows 768 mb.

How should i reduce it to 512mb?

It is using part of your RAM as VRAM. Try using DDu to wipe your current driver and reinstall the driver again. That might reset the global variables.

Looks like your input is multiplied by 3

512 * 3 = 1536
256 * 3 = 768

Try 170 or 171

Normaly you Dedicate the Memory for it over at the Bios / UEFI

No need for Registry Hack

There you can regulate it accordingly with no issues and hardships.

But never forget:

Windows OS 64Bit needs about 1.2 - 1.6 GB Overhead plus applications that start up - The rest is for other applications to use!

Example: Windows OS 64bit 1.6 GB + 150 MB for AV and Startup Apps + 256 MB Video (Will be noted as Reserved on SystemInfo)= 2,006 GB Reserved 1,994 GB Free to use.

lmportant: On Windows 32bit RAM use max 3,2 GB - 3,6 GB depending on Mainboard and Windows OS Version

Rule: Since Windows 7 - 10 RAM gets calculated in MeBiByte - Here is a Converter for help: Convert mebibyte to megabyte - Conversion of Measurement Units (General Info)

I opened the bios but couldn't find these settings. I did the registry job after that .

I'm not sure if this is applicable to you:

• Dedicated Memory Reporting

The graphics driver now reports some amount of fictitious “dedicated” graphics memory to the operating system (128MB by default) to work around applications issues in a number of games. These games incorrectly look for some amount of “dedicated” graphics memory because they weren’t coded with the unified memory architecture for processor graphics.

The amount reported can be modified or disabled if desired by changing the following registry value:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intel\GMM, create a REG_DWORD value named “DedicatedSegmentSize”. The value is interpreted as number of MB to report (0-512MB). A value of 0 disables reporting the dummy memory segment. If the registry key/value is not found, the driver will report the default 128MB.

You have to change the value type from hexa decimal to decimal then you will see everything normal. Its simple xD

Hi. You set the amount with a hexadecimal value. You just need to correct it with a decimal value go to registery setting again and check the decimal option first , then set to 512, the program will set hexadecimal number automatically. Gl
