Intel HD Graphics is an integrated graphics card. It is not very fast, since it has no memory of its own; allocates memory for itself from your system RAM. Intel HD graphics have been developed and improved for a long time and allow its users to play the latest games on low settings..
However, there are some games that are hard-coded and only released until the exact system requirements are met. If you don't have them, they refuse to start and you will not be able to launch them in any case; although they can be reproduced perfectly on Intel HD graphics.
We will talk about how to increase memory “dedicated” Intel HD graphics. We will also see how to improve game performance by following a few steps. First, we need to see how much memory you currently have.
Please note that you should not follow this article if you have no idea what you are doing. Making the wrong amendments can make the case even worse.
Checking how much dedicated memory your Intel is running
-

Once in the tab, you will see a line that says “Dedicated video memory”. This will be the memory that the Intel HD graphics will use. 
Increase dedicated graphics memory
Follow the steps below to increase your dedicated graphics memory. We will change the memory allocation through the BIOS. If you are a laptop user, note that your laptop may not have a configuration where you can allocate memory yourself. Solo “some” laptops have the privilege. For PC users, most of them will have the option available. For users who do not have the option available, you can follow the guide below on how you can boost your games performance without disturbing virtual memory.
-
To enter BIOS, must enter, or right after your computer starts.
-
When entering BIOS, you should look for an option like Intel HD Graphics shared memory setting. It will be in a tab like »Advanced» or »Chipset Configuration«. We can't guide you exactly where it will be located because there are tons of different motherboards and all the menu interfaces in your BIOS are different..
-
Change settings, press save key (In most cases) and get out.
Note: you need to be careful when allocating virtual memory to your graphics. You need to configure the memory according to your RAM. As if I had 2 GB of RAM, you shouldn't set virtual memory above 256 MB. If it does, your computer's performance will be seriously affected. See the table below.
RAM Recommended video memory 2 GB 256 MB 4 GB 512 MB 8 GB or more 1024 MB or more
