How to increase Dedicated VRAM in intel HD 520

[Anshuman]

So i have bought my laptop and it has intel hd 520 in it. I have tried all the methods but still cant increase the dedicated vram. I have seen other people do it but somehow in my case nothing works.

This happens automatically, you don't need to do anything. Based upon current requirements, up to 50% of your DRAM could be allocated as VRAM.
If you have a game that won't play because it sees low VRAM number, this is a bug in the game; contact the game developers for a fix.

So,  my dedicated video ram would be 50% of my vram or my vram would be 50% of my ram?

Also, i tried every method to increase the dedicated  vram. Nothing worked. Any reason as to why this is happening?

Driver- Intel HD Graphics 520

No, think of it this way: Your current VRAM dedication can be anywhere up to 50% of available DRAM. When needs increase, the dedication will be increased. When needs decrease, the dedication will be decreased. If you watch the dedication while playing a game, you should see it increasing and decreasing.

There is another option that is set in the BIOS (Intel NUC11PAHI5 U3a.jpg, U3b.jpg, U3c.jpg) present in Windows Task Manager

and video adapter properties (U1a.jpg - U1f.jpg). Early in the previous decade for Intel HD Graphics

it was 32-64 MB and has now quadrupled to 128-256 MB.

It is also present in Intel's "SSU" report.

Windows 11 Task Manager does not display "Dedicated Video Memory" (U1f.jpg), Windows 10 Build 1903 (Intel Compute Stick U2a-1903.jpg - U2b-1903.jpg) still displays "Dedicated Video Memory" (U2a-1903.jpg).
