Hi,
I recently booted Windows 10 on my iMac. Everything is fine so far, however, my graphic card seemingly has only 128mb of dedicated video ram. I have the Intel Iris Pro 5200 with 1024mb of ram. How can I fix this? All my games require at least 512mb.
Thanks for the help.
iMac, Windows 10
EDIT: Total Available Graphics Memory: 4194mb
Dedicated Video Memory: 128mb
Please see http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005539.html . The memory is dynamically managed by the OS in newer versions of Windows. If you really want to change, there is a utility Intel-Extreme-Tuning-Utility-Intel-XTU .
Hi,
Thanks for the response. So if a game needs 512mb VRAM, will that be supplied automatically? I don't understand how to change it using the Extreme Tuning Utility.
IXTU is not recommended. It can cause a lot of problems. If you run your game, do you get errors due to lack of memory?
I don't get any errors, but I feel as if it may be hindering the performance. Games are running slower on Windows then they do on OSX - well at least I think they are. I'm really not sure :/
Please test with http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml .
I don't really understand it but my max is 1496 and test interval is 500. ??
Does it point to any issues?
Play your games as normal, and if you have any issues, please post back.
Ok. Thank you so much for your help.
Keep an eye on Windows update and any drivers that it may provide. You may want to create a Windows System Restore point, in case you need to roll back to a stable state.
Ok. I'm 95% sure that it is hindering my performance. I'm getting 30fps on a game I get 80fps with on a laptop?! The mac version gives me 300fps on MAX settings.
Can the game report RAM when you are testing? The Laptop and Mac tests may behave differently.
I'm not sure. It's Counter Strike: Global Offensive. When I played the game on OSX, it performed much better.
Only 128mb of Dedicated Video Ram
