Hi Communities!!! I have a Lenovo laptop G40-70 and something weird happened, I checkd the display with dxdiag, and it said something like

device

Name: Intel (R) HD Graphics Family

Manufacturer: Intel Corporation

Chip Type: Intel (R) HD Graphics Family

DAC Type: Internal

Device Type: Full Display

Approx. Total Memory: 4154MB

Monitor: Generic PnP Monitor

Now the Approx. Total Memory had a change, in this moment it says 2160MB, what happened? I haven't changed any config, please help me to understand why?? Can be changed?

Thanks for any help!

Hi IvBer ,

 

The graphics memory is dynamically allocated to balance the needs of the operating system and all running applications.

Hope this can clarify your inquiry.
