Advanced Syste (Chipset) Settings

[Ziad]

Hey guys, first of all I would like to state my specs

 

Intel core i5 3117u cpu 1.7 GHz

AMd 7670 graphics card with Intel Hd 4000  (they are a total of 6361 MB)

RAM : 8GB

My dedicated memory : 2560 MB

My Shared Memory : 3791 MB

 

I don't know which exactly is better for using, but I'm pretty sure it's the dedicated memory, I have been told that  I can change this at Advances Chipset settings on BIOS, but I do not have that on my laptop

some people say it's because it's an HP laptop (i know sucks) and that it doesn't have UEFI?

Any help would be appretiated

 

P.S : on my DirectX diagonistic tool, it tells me that I am currently having 17372MB available, while I'm only using 2860MB (under the title of Page File)

id say leave it as it is and dont change anything and hp laptops dont suck

HP laptops suck for gaming... trust me

 

1. Overheating problems (way more than average laptops)

2. UEFI does not exist on laptops

3. bad company and even worst staff members.

I don't know where this thread is going, is it a HP bashing thread?

My main question was, Which is better for gaming ( in general, for everything) Shared system memory, or dedicated memory? (You can find this on screen resolution)?

 

and my ULTIMATE main question, how can I change this? I know i have to go on Advanced system settings on BIOS, yet that is prohibited since I have an HP laptop (MANY people have faced this problem with HP laptops)

 

Hp laptops aren't bad.. just some problems (like this, and overheating), luckily though I got a cooling pad

 

anyways.. any help would be appretiated.

Thanks.

Usually dedicated graphic memory is better/faster than a shared system memory. If i'm not mistaken, HP's HD7670M used GDDR5 while your system memory is only DDR3.

 

You can't change shared system memory value, you won't find anything in Advanced BIOS setting even when it unlock.

 

HP laptop overheating is mostly caused by Intel CPU TurboBoost function, you can try

1) Turn ON HP Coolsense  

2) Use ThrottleStop by UncleWebb to disable TurboBoost

3) Set Maximum Power State to 99% instead of 100% in Windows Advanced Power Option.
