How can I increase Dedicated Video Memory on an Intel HD Graphics card?
Hi, I recently bought a game (Plants VS Zombies Garden Warfare), but as i started it up, almost nothing rendered and every object was invisible. I consulted many forums online and couldnt find any good answers. I would like to know if it is possible to increase my dedicated video memory or not. I have tried looking in my BIOS/UEIF but it didnt help.
My Specs are:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3220 CPU @3.30GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 6 GB
System Type: 64 bit operating system
Inspiron 660 running Windows 8 with intel HD graphics card
No Events found!

You cannot increase video memory either on a separate card or integrated. Replacing the integrated video with a better video card is the only way. Then you run into the limited power supply that will also have to be upgraded to run a better card. The 660 will never be a great gaming computer, even if it's upgraded but you could run less demanding games with a separate mid range video card.

You also don't get the shared ram back So with 4 gigs or 8 gigs of ram you only have 3.8 gigs or 7.8 gigs useable even when a PCI-E card is used AND Turbo Trash and Hyper Junk can steal an additional 1.5 gigs of system ram. PCI-E cards will start swapping to system memory when the onboard texture memory runs out.

INTEL HD Graphics doesn't meet minimum system requirements.
