Hello,
I installed a game on my PC: Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 and the game won't start because the computer displays that the video card does not meet the minimum required configuration GPU VRAM 128. I have an HP PAVILION G6 Core i3 with 4 GB of RAM
so I would like to know how to access the BIOS to increase my VRAM to 128 MB
Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 13.0.1

To increase the video memory of an Intel HD graphics card, simply go to the BIOS, navigate to the second page, then go to graphics, and you will see the default allocated memory amount (for me it was 64MB). Then you can modify it by increasing the video memory (for me it was a maximum of 512MB).
It is important to know that the iGPU uses the RAM normally used by the processor but draws from it because there isn't any by default. The more you increase the video memory, the less RAM you have available, so those with 4GB of RAM, be careful.

- Another: Video memory can limit the power of a graphics card by making it unstable, due to a lack of it. For example, a GTX 980 Ti with 6GB of video memory can run GTA V at maximum settings, but if the GTX 980 Ti only has 1GB of video memory, it will lose power because it doesn't physically have enough video memory.
- Another 2: An Intel HD 4600 struggles to run Minecraft at 720p because it has 64MB of video memory, but when I set it to 512MB in the BIOS, the card was stable at 60 fps with basic settings and could run even better. Thanks to Optifine, we were between 60-70 fps, and by setting the chunks to 5, I was at a minimum of 130 fps, reaching up to 160 at most. However, with 512MB at 1080p on 5 chunks, it ran at 60-70 fps. So there we really saw the limits of the iGPU's power. Therefore, people who say that video memory is useless are completely wrong.
Here are my PC specs:
