Friends, I am trying to play PES 2017 on my Dell XPS 15, L502X laptop and I see that my VRAM is 64 MB. I would like to increase it to 512 MB to get a better gameplay experience. I tried making changes in the registry files by creating a GMM folder and increasing the DWORD/QWORD value to 512, but it did not work. Is there any other way where I can increase the VRAM?

If its a laptop, no you cannot adjust it, it will use IIRC up to 2GB of system memory If your system can spare it. But if it is a desktop with a Z series bios there should be an option to change the amount it can draw. The 32Mb/64Mb that you see is just the initial size it picks and allocates more as needed.

i think the only way to do it is in the bios. Its a very limited selection. You may have only 2 options, 64mb/128mb. There could be other options, but I can't remember exactly. SO you need to restart your PC and press F2 or Delete (or whatever one does it on your PC) and look for a heading with PCIE, and you should see an option.

The HD3000 is old school, and the only way to change it is from the bios.

u can increase your laptop VRAM from bios UpTo 128mb and then by increasing virtual memory UpTo 5gb will give u a shared VRAM of about 900 mb then download pes 17 selector and choose high graphics will give u high graphics and better performance.
Search in Google to increase virtual memory
