Any Way to Increase VRAM?

Hello, I have an HP Laptop, WIN 11, AMD Radeon VEGA 3 Graphics with 512 mb VRAM, AMD Ryzen 3 3200U.


i was wondering if it was possible to increase VRAM, either by dedicating a part of my RAM to VRAM or Tearing the laptop apart. When I checked the BIOS it didn't have any settings for that, i have milked all internet for this, seriously.

Thanks in advance.

Most desktop motherboards can set a custom size for UMA Buffer in BIOS when using a processor with integrated IGP.

If your laptop BIOS doesn't have a setting for UMA Buffer you are probably out of luck. You could try contacting HP Support to see if they offer this.

For the number of graphics processing cores that the IGP offers and the available memory bandwidth, there really isn't a significant performance difference between a UMA Buffer of 512MB and 2GB. My 5700G for example scored by comparison 3DMark Time Spy of 1716 on 512MB and 1733 on 2GB.
