Hello,
Can someone tell me how much vram Intel Graphics HD 530 , on i5 6600 , has?
And if it has will I be able to mix my GPU's 1GB VRam with the integrated HD 530 VRam?
Thanks for your time !

It has ZERO vram.

If you have a GPU, you will NOT be using the integrated graphics at all! (so far no games support DX12's mixed rendering)

Intel HD Graphics will use your system memory as its vram. It will allocate an amount of ram to itself when it needs to, probably somewhere between 512mb - 2gb. The amount it can allocate shouldn't really be a concern, as it should be figuring that out itself.

VRAM cannot be mixed, and in addition if you have a dedicated GPU then it should be getting used instead of the Intel HD 530. Your Intel graphics shouldn't be allocating any system memory to itself for vram, and instead it'll let your GPU do the work.

Really thanks for your reply... So this ''Video Memory : 1632'' is from his ram?

Yes.

Is your friend seeing performance issues with it? Intel HD 530 is decent as far as integrated graphics go, but they can only do so much. The only thing you can really do to make sure you're getting the most performance out of it is to make sure you have dual channel ram in your system - basically, if you have 2 sticks of ram of the same capacity, you should have dual channel.

Hmm look I was at his house and we launch gta v then we went to options and we saw ''Video Memory : 1632'' he has around 25-30 fps (with low settings)

Exactly, he DOESN'T have a discrete card so the integrated one is used. You CANNOT mix cards in DX11 games or DX12 games that don't support it!

Your GPU, absolutely! Graphics performance is more about the strength of the GPU itself than the amount of ram it has.

Yes, any game will be faster. You'll want to eventually upgrade that GPU though, and in fact, you should probably drop the i5 6600 to an i3 6100 and you might be able to afford a better card too!
