Increase VRAM

[Alpha1987]

Hello. My HP 17-cp0111ur laptop has an integrated AMD Radeon Vega 7 graphics. AMD Ryzen 5 5500U processor. The RAM is 8 Gb. Available graphics memory 4272 Mb. Used video memory 512 Mb. Is it possible to increase the amount of video memory used by the system up to 1024 Mb? Will the amount of video memory used by the system increase if I increase the RAM to 16 Gb? Advanced BIOS settings (F.07) are locked.

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 can't find a similar list from AMD).

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