This looks to be motherboard dependant. Some have a limit of 512mb while most have 1024mb. Are there any that support up to 2gb?

You shouldn't care about the pre allocated amount when the max is still 1.7gb. It's too weak to use more anyways.

64gb limit is ram not vram.

Discrete graphics cards will not max at 1.7gb. Each gpu is going to have a different totaled shared amount. But with dgpu you don't want to use shared since the card's own vram is a lot faster. If you only had 1 monitor plugged into the igpu, the dgpu is inactive and won't be showing.

Pretty sure the maximum you can go is 1720 MB and that is as far as I know for ASrock, that's one of the reasons I went with asrock with my budget build. On gigabyte its 512mb, on asus I think it is 1024mb though I might be wrong, but I am certain the max is 1720mb.

The pre-allocated amounts can differ on mobos but dvmt still has a max of 1792MB. I don't know why some places say different amounts but intel.com has always said ~1.7GB. You can go into windows, go to display adapter properties and see the total.

I3 6100 says its max graphics memory is 64gb. Gigabytes is 512mb while asrocks is only 1024mb. I dont know what to make of this. Even when using a discrete grahics on my old pc, dxdiag reports 1720mb as thr max graphics memory.

The maximum amount allocated should be 1.7 GB if that is the motherboard limit it should not go more than that.
For example in my APU laptop that originally came with 2GB of RAM the dedicated VRAM set is 256 MB.
After upgrading to 4 GB RAM the APU automatically set it to 512 MB VRAM.
With 6 GB and 8 GB RAM the amount dedicated for VRAM is 1 GB.
And this laptop does not have the option to set the amount of dedicated VRAM for the GPU.
The laptop does it automatically.

The 1.7GB limit that everyone refers to, is old news.Things changed with Windows 8 (up to 3.7GB VRAM for newer CPUs) and even more with Windows 10 (up to 50% of the available RAM for newer CPUs).

Alhtough i doubt a current iGPU will need more than 4GB VRAM anyway in most cases. But in the future they will.

Technology progresses my friends. That 1.7GB witch tale that remained from the past, reminds me of the advice people give on battery charging, based on pre-lithium knowledge.

The thread is old news. Please don't bump old posts. I'll close this to prevent further bumps.

However, you are right as the limits increased but this was actually a driver update and back when the thread was posted, 8 and 10 were around with the old limits as explained in the thread. For any future changes/references, intel updates the info on their site and here is the link. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000020962/graphics-drivers.html

Btw apus don't have the same limit and work a bit differently so can't be compared to intel igpus.
