    My Laptop has 10Gb ram and my Geforce GTX 960m Graphics card has 8.9Gb but shares 4.9Gb and gives me 4.0 for gaming.

    Hi LA117

    How much RAM do you have on your PC?

    You cannot increase dedicated Memory that is physical memory on your graphics chip

    Shared memory is taken form your RAM, so it depends on how much RAM you have on your PC, Windows generally is pretty good at working out the optimal amount to allocate . . .

    No guarantees, but you can adjust it from the BIOS if there is an option. Typically motherboard manufacturers add an option for the same usually. Search for something Like UMA/Graphics Memory.

    Hi LA117

    My name is Andre Da Costa; an Independent Consultant, Windows Insider MVP and Windows & Devices for IT MVP. I'm here to help you with your problem.

    Some manufacturers let you adjust the amount of memory you can allocate to the GPU from within the BIOS.

    You will load your BIOS then look in the Advanced or Chipset area of the BIOS and look for Shared Memory.

    Keep in mind, the amount you allocate can adversely affect the stability of your system.
