Graphics Memory Upgrade?

Question

Is there a way to upgrade your Graphics Card's memory without getting a new graphics card?

Answer 1

No.

The RAM in a video card has never been user upgradeable, on any card in the history of video cards.

And even more so on a laptop as the cards themselves arent user upgradeable, unless your packing a high end Sager or other Clevo based rig.

You might (MIGHT) be able to go into your BIOS and increase the memory allotment that your graphics card gets to pull from, but this will only yeild very very very small increases in preformance on a dedicated GPU.  Though you might get a pretty sizeable increase in preformance from an intergrated graphics card if your able to increase the video ram a significant amount in your BIOS

Answer 2

No, sorry the only way to do it is to buy a new card-its like buying ram for your graphics.

Answer 3

I dont think you can upgrade graphic memory because they are built-in into the graphic card.

Answer 4

no, the memory chips on the graphics cards are there permenantly.  

you will have to get a card with more memory.
