Increase VRAM

[coolguy4]

Hello to who is reading this! I got the Xbox gamepass to play some games but then the system says, "your computer doesn't meet the requirements to play this game". So, after doing some research, I saw that the computer needs a minimum of 2GB of VRAM to play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. I go to display settings and do the other steps and see that dedicated VRAM is 128 MB! So now I am stuck, looking for support. I heard that you could transfer RAM to VRAM, but I don't know how to do it.

Windows 11 Home

Intel I-7 evo

Intel Integrated Graphics

16 GB of DDR5 ram

Integrated video (iGPU) does not have room for keeping 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).

Around 2021 people posted Youtube on internet saying they can change using Regedit. Many people try but the results are unpredictable.
