Hello everyone - I have a ThinkPad W530 that I have been using since I bought it new online about 3 or so years back. Anyhow, it has a K1000M Quadro that runs mighty fine for most stuff, but I would like to be able to add more VRAM from the system memory to it. Right now here are my specs:
- i7 3740QM
- Quadro 2GB K1000M
- 24GB DDR3 memory
- 1TB Samsung 850 Pro SSD (boot)
- 1TB Samsung 850 Pro SSD (expansion bay)
- 120GB internal SSD (mSATA)

I would like to, as stated before, allocate some of the 24GB of system memory to my Quadro GPU, if possible. Thank you!

I'm not quite sure if that's possible because it looks as if the GPU has it's own dedicated memory instead of using out of the system memory. If it is possible it should be...

Well, I looked all through the BIOS and I don't see anything that has to do with this, because it is integrated VRAM that is built into the graphics card, so I don't know.

Generally speaking, if a card has it's own dedicated VRam separate from the system memory it isn't upgrade-able.
