Need to Dedicate 2GB VRAM on a GTR 5

radashack

What specific settings do I have to change in the BIOS in order to dedicate 2GB of VRAM (Video Memory)? Trying to run X-Plane 12 and it will not install until I have 2GB of dedicated VRAM. I know it can be done. Please help. I have a recently purchased GTR 5

Hello

Try this please:

Go into the BIOS (press DEL or DELETE at startup) , select tab ADVANCED -> AMD CBS -> NBIO -> GFX -> iGPU configuration

There you have two options that are interesting for you and might do the trick:
UMA-SPECIFIED and UMA-game-optimized.  

UMA-specified will let you select a specified amount of memory from a list.
UMA-game-optimized gives you a standard 4 GB of video ram. This option is what I have selected on my GTR.

Hope this helps

P.S.: second time ... don't know why my previous post went up.

That did not work. It gave me only 3 choices; BALANCED, HIGH PERFORMANCE, and AUTO. I did try HIGH PERFORMANCE and it did nothing. On both MS Flight Sim, and X-Plane 12 I get "not enough VRAM errors or other error messages concerning the video system.
