Pavilion Ryzen 4500u video memory

[Wutse]

Yesterday i bought a 15inch Pavilion laptop with these specs: 

Ryzen 5 4500u cpu 

16 gb Ram 

512 gb SSD 

After setting up Windows i looked into Task manager and saw that my Ryzen APU was only getting 512mb of deticated V-ram. Out of my 16gb's !?! 

I specifically bought the model with 16gb dual channel ram to be to allocate at least 2GB of V ram, but nothing can be Found in the bios to change this. 

This issue has been adressed here multiple times in the last few years , please HP don't Tell me you guys still use those modified bioses we're you can't change this value 

This cripples the Ryzen APU's ! Where is thé Point in buying a laptop with Vega graphics then. 

Also thé laptop arrived with 4 big scratches on the top pannel from the factory...

Integrated video (iGPU) does not have room for keep VRAM, it relies on System. System will work this out and allocate/assign spare/available system RAM to VRAM automatically when required up to max limit. System will also take VRAM back when required (the number is dynamic, not fix). During the good old days, we could do this from BIOS but now OS is smarter.

The following document shows Max shared RAM for Intel iGPU versions

I do not have similar document from AMD.

Note: Recently people post Youtube on internet saying they can change using Regedit. Many people try but the results are unpredictable.

And that Gimpes these new APU's because you can't game with them without having 1-2gb fixed. I'll be returning this laptop and going die a brand that doesn't pull all the potential out of their components 

Never buying this brand again
