Advanced Chipset Features

► Frame Buffer Size

Allocates system memory for use as video memory to ensure the most efficient use of

available resources for maximum 2D/3D graphics performance.

This is a memory allocation method addition to the Unified Memory Architecture (UMA)

concept, wherein a static amount of page-locked graphics memory is allocated during driver

initialization. This fixed amount of memory will provide the user with a guaranteed graphics

memory at all times, and will no longer be available to the OS.

► Init Display First

Select PCI-Express graphics card as the default first display device.

This option is used to select the source of primary display device.
