Acer Aspire V3 574t: How to increase dedicated video memory in BIOS?

Max178500

My old Acer Aspire V3 574t with Intel HD Graphics 5500 has become too slow in some graphic programs. It has 16 GB of RAM. Is it possible to adjust settings in the advanced BIOS for dedicated video memory? I've checked the advanced BIOS settings but couldn't find anything related to video memory.

You can't change VRAM in Acer BIOS, this is controlled by Windows(?), increase the RAM modules to 16Gb - DDR3L - 1600MHz (OS 64-bit) and Windows will allocate proportionally VRAM.

Try the below steps, as I've used the below steps to increase VRAM within the dedicated video RAM (VRAM) on many Acer laptop and it works, but it does not make much of a difference, the first step is to increase the ram to the laptops max capacity as that works. Good luck and hope this helps you out some more

Checking Your Video RAM:

• Click the Windows Start button, then go to Settings > System > Display > Advanced display settings.
• Click Display adapter properties for Display 1 to view information about your graphics adapter and video RAM. The total amount of dedicated video RAM will be displayed next to “Dedicated Video Memory.”

Using the Registry Editor (Note: Be cautious when editing the registry):

• First, check if your computer’s video RAM can be increased. Some Intel processors and integrated graphics chipsets may not allow changes to the VRAM.
• Open the Registry Editor by typing “Regedit” in the Start menu.
• Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Intel.
• Right-click and create a new key named GMM (stands for Graphics Memory Management).
• Also remember that directly increasing the VRAM beyond the manufacturer’s settings may not be possible. You might need to check with the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to see if any BIOS features allow adjustments

This is not true. Different models of Acer have differences in advanced BIOS. In many cases, there is an option to increase VRAM through settings in the BIOS. For example, take a look at this video:

I already have 16 GB DDR3L, just want to understand how to manually increase vram on my model
