Dedicated graphics memory on an Integrated GPU

[Top-Hat Meerkat]

Is there a way to find out how much of your system RAM is dedicated to the integrated GPU? If so, how?

What system? For intel igpu's its 32mb, with up to 1.5gb more with the driver.

Up to 2GB, I believe. That's assuming that you have more than enough RAM to cover the rest of the system.

I have 16GB of system RAM. I went into "display adaptor settings", and Windows told me my GPU can use up to 8GB of system RAM if it needs too. Will that make a noticeable performance difference compared to a laptop with only 1.5GB of dedicated VRRAM?

Comparing shared system memory to dedicated VRAM on a discreet mobile GPU is apples to oranges. The discreet GPU would, in most scenarios, always do better than the integrated GPU on the CPU die- the exception would be an older discreet GPU.

 

In other words, your integrated GPU isn't going to be powerful enough to ever need 8gb of VRAM.

You should also be able to change it in the bios.
