1.5.1.2 Video Memory Allocation
Intel
®
Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) is a method for dynamically
allocating system memory for use as graphics memory to balance 2D/3D graphics and
system performance. If your computer is configured to use DVMT, graphics memory is
allocated based on system requirements and application demands (up to the
configured maximum amount). When memory is no longer needed by an application,
the dynamically allocated portion of memory is returned to the operating system for
other uses.
