Need Help: Can video memory be increased?

[CA50]

@Skynaveen, you can refer to the product manual or the technical details of the GPU to check if TC is indeed supported

^^ It's called Nvidia TurboCache or ATI HyperMemory

The GPU must have support for this feature - the gpu will then use system memory as a substitute to the dedicated physical memory of the gfx card

Say a gpu has 256MB physical memory with TurboCache/HyperMemory - the card supports upto 512MB - now because of TC/HM tech 256MB of the system memory will be allocated as the gpu memory to make the the 512MB vram buffer

thanks for the info

^^but i really doubt low end cards will be benefited by this feature

if graphics memory is DDR2, so dedicating some DDR3 memory from ram may help. sad an increase of 2-3FPS. but i feel the dedicated memory will run at clock of the graphics memory (i.e. low speed) hence make it almost meaningless.

So..... will it work on XFX GT220 1gb DDR2
Can I increase the memory to 1.5gb or 2gb.
I have enough ram to spare.

If so do I need any other software for it.

check the manufacturer website for that info.

You don't need any 3rd party app - the gpu driver will handle this if your gfx card supports TC feature
