On a video card, the memory is integrated into the circuit board. Unlike RAM (system memory) for a computer, VRAM (video memory) on a video card cannot be removed or upgraded.

What are my options?

If you want to increase the amount of video memory on your computer, you need to purchase a new video card with more memory. The motherboard and its expansion slots and how big of power supply the computer has determines what type of video card is available.
