Integrated graphics VRAM: How much do I actually need?
in Hardware ·
Yeah, look, F7 wasn't doing the trick for me, so I switched things over to F6—you know, that "Improve Intel Turbo Boost compatibility" setting. Honestly, I was under the impression I might actually squeeze a little extra performance out of the boost functionality if I tweaked it.
Integrated graphics VRAM: How much do I actually need?

Hey everyone, I could really use some advice here because I’m feeling pretty stuck. I'm running a Gigabyte GA-H55M-S2H (rev 1.0) motherboard with a 3.2GHz Intel i5, integrated HD graphics, and 8GB of RAM (2x4GB) clocked at 1866MHz on BIOS F6.
The issue is that my integrated graphics is only pulling 128MB of dedicated memory. Even though the settings claim there's a total of 1760MB available, the BIOS options are incredibly stingy—it only lets me choose between 32, 64, or 128MB. Honestly, that feels ridiculously low for a setup that's actually decent by today's standards.
Is there any way to bump this up to a reasonable amount via the BIOS or maybe through some kind of boost? I've spent way too much time poking around the BIOS menus already and haven't found a solution. If anyone with more experience in this stuff could point me in the right direction, I’d truly appreciate it. 🙂

Thanks, darkowl72. Look, I’ll be the first to admit I’m no hardware guru—that’s exactly why I came to this forum in the first place. Anyway, the issue is sorted out now. 😁

When I hit the power button, specifically during that initial boot sequence where the motherboard info pops up and the BIOS starts its routine checking the RAM, disks, and all that—you know, right at the very start when you’re supposed to mash the Delete key to get into the BIOS
... the system displays the data right up until the RAM check. It shows 8GB is detected, then everything just freezes for a few seconds before the whole damn computer forces a restart.
The thing is, it works perfectly fine with my old RAM.

Hey everyone, I’ve got an Intel ASUS Prime H55M-S2H Socket 1156 motherboard, and I just popped in some 8GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX 1866
but I've hit a wall. The BIOS sees the full 8GB of RAM, but that’s where the story ends—nothing else loads, and the PC just refuses to boot. I already tried updating the BIOS from version F5 to F7 to expand compatibility for different RAM modules, but no dice. I even tried resetting the BIOS back to factory settings, which was a total waste of time. Has anyone dealt with this kind of headache before? Is there any other way to fix this, or am I just staring at a very expensive paperweight? Thanks. 🙂
