Does using CPU memory to boost an integrated GPU damage the PC in any way?
I got GTA4 on my Intel hd 4400 laptop and used some "command.txt" notepad trick to increase the available memory for graphics.
The processor is i7-4600U. Can doing this damage the PC?

Fuck off nigger, you're not welcome here, why don't you go back to Sup Forums where you belong, you stupid fucking cunt?
Yes, don't do it. It will damage you so called "PC"
I can't imagine how it would damage it beyond what normal video game playing would do since you're a retard for playing GTA on a laptop anyway
your better off using your harddrive's rotational vecilodensity. Putting unnecessary weight on your CPU will damage its nanoemmiters and shorten its lifespan
That doesn't seem like it'll improve performance all that much. CPU's have very little memory on them and graphical textures need shitloads of memory. You'd exhaust the cache almost immediately and would be bottlenecked by your actual memory almost as if you weren't using the cache at all.
>4600u
>i7
What the fuck was Intel thinking with the naming scheme, other than to trick goys. Literally the result of 8 years with no competition in laptop space.

end of thread everyone shut up
Fuck you cunts. You're why I wish a nuclear Holocaust wipes us all out. There's no need to be an asshole just because you have a low IQ motherfucker.
Yes it's really dangerous buy a Mac.
i3/i5/i7 has nothing to do with performance.
It's to differentiate budget/middle/high-end market segments.
Many other companies use the exact same scheme including Nikon and BMW.
U models are more expensive so they tend to be i7's.
>calls others "low iq" when he can't even solve his own problems
>Asking for advice is wrong
That defies the importance of the existence of all forums on the internet and all societies humans form.
I'm a doctor and use my skills to help people. I lack skills/knowledge when it comes to technology, but try using other people's information to increase that. Nothing wrong with it.
That's not his point mate, it's that an i5 xxxxu and an i7 xxxxu are separated by cache size and clock speed. Compared to desktop, it's incredibly misleading.
Example - I have a i7 4810MQ, by desktop standards it'd be a higher clocked variant but it's actually got double the cores, because mobile i7s are dual cores with hyperthreading.
it's incredible how one can say something right and something wrong at the same time.
>I'm a doctor and use my skills to help people.
I feel you. I'm a chef at Wendy's (300k a year), and the meanies on here really get me down.
What did I fuck up on?

If it's about the naming, the 4700MQ is also a mobile quad and that lines up nicely with the 4790k, both i7s, whereas the 4600u lines up with the 4690k, which is an i5.

explain
Provide a valid explanation for your trick. Anyway sage you are probably baiting
I assumed he was talking about assigning more RAM to the iGPU.

>Example - I have a i7 4810MQ, by desktop standards it'd be a higher clocked variant but it's actually got double the cores, because mobile i7s are dual cores with hyperthreading.
by desktop standrd (before kaby lake obviously) it would be a 4c/8t chip with higher clocks in the mainstream and a 6c/12t chip in the enthusiast segment. we would expect that the difference between an i5 and i7 is simply hyperthreading and a slightly increased clockspeed (mainstream segment). The mq, hq and hk models are all mobile processors too, but all of them are quadcores (which contradicts your statement that mobile i7s are dual cores with hyperthreading).
The chips you are referring to as "mobile processors" are labeled by intel as "ultra low power", which just says 15w tdp. there are i3, i5 and i7 U variants, all of which have 2c/4t (until coffee lake changed this). there are also 4c/4t i5 hq variants. Intels "Q" suffix states that the chip is a quadcore (again this is not true for coffe lake). Intels "H" suffix states "High performance" which just comes down to 45W TDP. So for all core series U or Y mobile processors prior to coffee lake every chips had two cores, if it was labeled "Q" or "K", which states that the chip had a unlocked multiplier (every "K" chip i know is a quadcore too), it's a quadcore.
Kill yourself minority LGBT nigger, men don't play games and this place is for men. White men only.

Jesus Christ. That command will just make the game think you have more VRAM than you actually have. Next time ask google or Sup Forums.
probably but he said it was a config file in gta iv.
Im interested in the gta iv filesystem and want to know what trick he used.
>The processor is i7-4600U. Can doing this damage the PC?
"No"
I'm aware of a way to tell the game to ignore detected VRAM. If you have more than 2GB it freaks out and locks off all the settings, this fixes it.

That should be a good resource for you. -nomemrestrict is what I was thinking of, but it won't help the OP. He needs to go into his BIOS and max out the memory assigned to the iGPU. I think that generation can take 512mb.
My point was more that there's no "MQ" or "HQ" equivalent on desktop, I've had to talk plenty of people out of dual-core i7s because they thought it was a bigger difference like the desktop chips.
OH BOY
REBERT THE CHANGES
YOUR COMPUTER WILL EXPLODE
>ware of a way to tell the gam
thanks for the link, thats the shit I like
