Intel Moemory Windows 8.1 Installed On

I have upgraded it to 16GB of RAM and and have windows 8.1 installed on a bootcamp partition.

Currently on my windows side it says that I only have 32mb of dedicated video ram.

I would like to increase the dedicated video RAM on the windows side to fully use what my computer is capable of.

Normally in a windows computer to change your video RAM amount you go into the BIOS section, but since this is on a mac it doesnt have one.

I have been through about a billion tech support calls so here is a list of the things Ive tried.

What Ive tried: 1.

Using Refind to access BIOS on this.

The new version doesnt seem to do much for windows as the only bootup option I am given is to bootup normally 2.

I recommend a Registry backup and System Restore Point before you manipulate any information here.

If you could just direct me to who I could ask or what section of the driver it would be in(like hkeylocalmachinehardware) it would be greatly appreciated.

As part of this new graphics memory management, the Intel HD Graphics Driver leaves more of the graphics memory sizing to Windows 88.1.

On a similar MBP, I have.

The general way of changing the dedicated video memory through the control panel or bios also does not work.

It can use on-board memory and has the ability to access main RAM memory.

The management is in W8 on the use of on-board vs shared memory.

You can look at the driver settings and change memory, but the dynamic nature of allocationde-allocation is working against you.

You can control the size of the cup, but not how much is poured in or poured out.

There are no BIOS hooks, but the driver settings are the closest knobs you have.

So do you know how I would access the driver setting to increase the cup size from 32MB to 512 MB.
