| DVMT mode is memory that is dynamically allocated based |
|

|
|
|
| on memory requests made by application and are released |
|
|
|
|
|
|

| back to the system once the requesting application has |

|
|
|
|
|
|
| been terminated. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Fixed mode is |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| allocated during driver initialization to provide a static |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| amount of memory. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Both allows the combination of both Fixed and DVMT type |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| driver allocation methods, used to guarantee a minimum |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| amount of memory but give the flexibility of DVMT |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| allocation scheme and performance enhancement. These |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| mode options will ensure that a certain minimum amount of |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| memory will always be dedicated to graphics. |
