    Laptops with a dedicated graphics card


    A friend of mine has just bought a laptop with Windows 10 and a dedicated graphics card. I am attaching a few screenshots below so that I can ask you a few questions.1. In PCs a dedicated graphics card is a totally separate piece of hardware, but what about laptops with a dedicated graphics card? Is there a separate chip altogether?2. In the two screenshots, which show a window titled "DirectX Diagnostic Tool", I see something called "Shared Memory: 4017 MB". I know this laptop has 8 GB DDR4 RAM. In my understanding 8 GB means 8192 MB. So why the shared memory is shown as 4017 MB only? Is this shared memory not system memory itself?3. One screenshot also shows "Display memory (VRAM): 2996 MB". Is this the memory of that dedicated graphics card/chip? If divided by 1024 MB it works out to about 2.92 GB.4. I need someone to explain to me as to how one can work out memory math when it comes to a laptop with a dedicated graphics card.Thanks.

    graphics card problems

    Hi,

    Your computer makes a noise or beeps from your internal speaker because it failed to detect the graphics card. What we can suggest is for you to try cleaning your graphics card with a pencil eraser. Here are the steps below:

    • Turn your computer off.
    • Pull out your video/graphics card.
    • Rubbed the cold contacts with soft pencil eraser.
    • Connect your video/graphics card back to the computer.
    Kindly note that this is just a temporary fix. If the case still continues, I suggest that you contact your graphics card's manufacturer.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Laptops with a dedicated graphics card

    How to increase the dedicated ram to graphics

    Dedicated graphics RAM can not be increased, the amount of RAM on graphics cards is built in.

    The only way is to install a new graphics card with more dedicated graphics RAM.

    This relatively easy on a desktop, but on a laptop, virtually impossible.
