AMD 's new Variable Graphics Memory lets you turn up to 75 percent of your system memory into dedicated video RAM .

It's only currently available for AMD AI 300 “Strix Point” laptops, and how much RAM you’ll be able to divert depends on your system’s total.

Some games, like Alan Wake II , require as many as 6 GB of VRAM and will throw errors at launch if you're short.

AMD 's also bringing its Fluid Motion Frames 2 to laptops in technical preview today .
