I'm building a system with Intel i7-3770T, ASUS P8Z77-V PRO/THUNDERBOLT and 16 GB RAM. I don't see (on ASUS site) a limitation for the shared memory as it is mentioned for other motherboards (1696 MB for P8Z77-V PREMIUM).
On the other side, the user manual says that it "allows you to select the amount of system memory allocated to DVMT 5.0 used by the iGPU" and the maximum value is 1024 MB. But the same value is present in the user manual for the other motherboard (P8Z77-V PREMIUM) and not 1696 MB.
So what is really the maximum amount of memory that can be used for integrated graphics in my case ?
I don't want to buy a video card (additional heat and noise) if I can manage to play Assassin's Creed (for example) in acceptable conditions.
Thank you for your answer.

I put in place that configuration and I'm playing Assassin's Creed III. Everything seems OK till now, except that when I quit the game windows says I should disable Aero ... :)
