Question Dedicated Video Memory (VRAM) not adjusting in Windows 11

[Dseiger83]

I have followed a guide to increase my VRAM both in my BIOS and via Registry Editor.
First my system advanced display settings read:

Total Available Graphics Memory: 40927
Dedicated Video Memory: 8192
System Video Memory: 0
Shared System Memory: 32735

I then went into Registry Edit and...
1. Navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intel
2. Create New key: GMM
3. In the GMM folder create new DWORD (32bit) Value named DedicatedSegmentSize
4. Set base: Decimal
5. Set Value data: 16534
6. Save and restart PC

Results: The Dedicated Video Memory value remains 8192

Next I went into my BIOS Chipset section and set the max value of 2048 for allocated VRAM. This also required I turn off CSM or Compatibility Support Module in the BIOS section

Results: The Dedicated Video Memory value remains 8192

If anyone could help me understand what I am missing i would greatly appreciate it. Also i created a pastebin for my DXDIAG

You can't expand physical (dedicated) memory like that. In your case, you only have 8GB. The only way to increase the physical memory is to swap to a different GPU.

Your OS and video drivers should manage the assignment of GPU virtual/shared memory automatically, as needed without you mucking about in the registry.
