@ psychopat:
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!

Since I have never modded a graphics driver, I cannot help you myself.
Hopefully you will get support from somebody else.

You can use the new 8.15.10.2869 driver in the current win7 system, and the new fit the current graphics for BIOS 2107, the premise is you need

For Intel 4 series I know from personal experience that you can raise the dedicated vRAM to 128MB (or 196MB, don’t remember) from the default 64MB. You need to install a modded driver though and to alter the .inf installation file beforehand. In turn that will require to disable Driver Signature Enforcement on x64 systems before installing the driver for the fist time. Search google on how to raise the dedicated vRAM by modifying the .inf installation file as I haven’t done it in a long time and don’t remember anymore.

its integrated, i cannot install any other drivers only intel.
also i have no acces to bios options.

BIOS is irrelevant for mobile systems ad vRAM settings. I know it’s integrated, this has nothing to do with that. You can modify and install Intel graphics drivers that increase the vRAM size. A google search should help you more as I don’t remember the specifics of it anymore.

i was searching alot before. and couldnt find anything that helps.

One pre-modified Intel driver that amongst others increases the vRAM is the Royal BNA which can be found here:

http://teknogods.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=47

3.1.1.86 for x86 (32-bit systems)
3.1.1.64 for x64 (64-bit systems)

Note: Generally, keep in mind that these graphics cards use UMA memory which basically means sharing system RAM. So the more vRAM the gpu has the less the system. Example, if now you have ~1.92GB of RAM with 64MB being gpu dedicated, with a 192MB vRAM you will have around 1.8GB RAM available.

.
i have tried to install royal BNA before. but after i uninstall old intel driver and reboot pc it automaticly installing intel driver. internet is disabled. it shows that is some kind of video graphics controler.

Well you may need to completely remove the old Intel driver before proceeding with the Royal BNA one. Try installing Royal BNA using the Have Disk Method. If it restores the old driver upon reboot then it’s Windows doing that on purpose because of not proper driver signature.

cannot install it that way either. i guess i should remove intel driver comepletly. idk how do i suppose to do that yet.

First, uninstall from Control Panel > Programs the Intel driver. Then use DDU which is an excellent tool to properly uninstall older graphics card drivers. You only need to select the Intel one. It also has an option by default to disable Windows automatic driver installation/fallback.

If you want to uninstall a driver, you have to do it from within the Device Manager.
The "Add/Remove Software" option of the Control Panel usually just uninstalls the driver software, but not the driver itself.

That’s more true for RST rather that gpu drivers. In my personal experience the Intel drivers will be uninstalled normally that way and the default MS ones from Windows update will be download and used.

Either way, use DDU - it’s marvelous tool for clean gpu driver reinstallations (Intel, Nvidia, AMD). And that option to disable automatic driver reinstallation from Windows update is a must.

i uninstalled it with using DDU and after few seconds it was installed again.

The brute force method to uninstall drivers from where Windows stores them can be done with a little tool called DriverStore Explorer. Download it, run as administrator and remove the Intel Display Adapter driver. You may also see the Royal BNA one kept as well, remove everything regarding Intel at the Display Adapter category. Nothing else! Then make sure that DDU told you that automatic driver installation is disabled and try again.

While modding .inf is a solution, the upper limit of usable RAM for video card is set in BIOS. That’s the first place to go.


That’s for desktops. At laptops the BIOS is usually locked down to basics such as password and boot order. Regarding this gpu, I have it at a laptop and in my personal experience the UMA memory can be raised via software (meaning modded drivers).

at the end i was able to install royal BNA. needed to change some reg entries aslo to uninstall video controller.

Was the dedicated vRAM raised as expected?
