Through my BIOS i cannot change the integrated graphics VRAM amount but something odd i have noticed is randomly after shutting my laptop off one day and returning to play GTA V, Originally the game only picked up having 1 GB of VRAM the next day it was 2 GB. How did this change and how do i allocate more? i know there is a way outside of the bios.
