| | Re: Shared memory with graphics card I would tend to agree, though I'm certainly not close to being an expert on graphics issues. You've got a 256 mb memory card. It's "borrowing" 767MB of system memory. 767 + 256 = 1023. Question for the OP: Where did you get the information that tells you "My card is supposed to share only 256MB of the system memory"?

| | Re: Shared memory with graphics card Before something happened (don't know what) the shared memory was reported as 256MB. I don't know what has happened since the shared memory now is 767MB.

| | Re: Shared memory with graphics card Maybe a video driver got updated or maybe a general Windows update did it. If it's not affecting system performance, I wouldn't worry about it.

You could try to find any processes that look like your graphics card driver using lots of RAM or something like that. Basically, if it is causing a problem by using lots of RAM, you will have less RAM to use. ss. |
