Does using CPU memory to boost an integrated GPU damage the PC in any way?

I got GTA4 on my Intel hd 4400 laptop and used some "command.txt" notepad trick to increase the available memory for graphics

The processor is i7-4600U. Can doing this damage the PC?

it creates a congestion against the memory write cycles and you will see performance drops and bluescreens

Over really long gaming sessions it could create mustard gas.

No it doesn't damage the computer. This was necessary on earlier patches of the game because it couldn't recognize over 2GB and it caused the graphics settings to be locked to lowest.

Haswell cpus and integrated graphics are quite capable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIDvCYz4o1c

No. This is intended functionality of the CPU and iGPU. Many systems have a BIOS option that does something similar. It's completely safe.
Obviously your laptop is an antique and you should consider an upgrade, but I assume you're well aware of that. Well done for making the best of what you have.

No, but it might cause increased usage of the paging file and slowdowns if you run out of memory.

The older patches of the game do not recognize over 2GB VRAM pools. I already explained this.

You should be fine as long as your computer isn't a secret Decepticon.
>>
>>107702391
Yes, don't do it. It will damage you so called "PC"

put your tongue on it to check it
