Hello. I have a laptop with a dedicated graphics card of 1GB, but since I play games, it's not enough, and I've noticed in my PC's task manager that my graphics card has 8GB of shared graphics memory. My question is how to use this shared graphics memory.
Thank you.

      I knew that. But you are not answering my question. What does shared graphical memory consist of, then?
