  • How To Increase VRAM On Lenovo Legion GO - Quick Easy Guide
    Currently we only have access to 3GB, 4GB & 8GB VRAM options on the Legion GO, the community has requested for more options to be added in a future BIOS Firmware update and all we can do for now is wait for Lenovo to add this in the future.
    I use 8GB VRAM for big AAA games such as RDR2, GTA5 & Cyberpunk 2077 although your experience may differ, I hope this quick guide is useful to you alll & let us know in the comments which VRAM choice you prefer at the time of writing for your games!
    Depending on your choice, this is the minimum reservation set aside for games as VRAM (Video RAM - Random Access Memory).
    Please take note that this is not an increase of your Total VRAM, this is the minimum amount set so that your memory over time is reduced with a higher minimum applied.
    Increasing our VRAM exists to prevent the CPU evicting VRAM when the Legion's GPU requires increased allocation.

      6gig or 4 gig is the best spot.
      Windows uses some of your ram to run shit in the background
      So if you allocate 6gig to the vram you're left with 10gig and windows will take 2gig leaving you with 8gig of ram to run games

    • @volcalstone
      @volcalstone 8 месяцев назад

      @@Legendary_Honey cause this iGPU will never push hard enough to need 8. 6 would be the max I would when they make it available. The more VRAM the less system RAM you will have and some games needs a lot of it. Look at Alan Wake 2, it needs 16GB! You will get an error every time when loading it cause devices like this won't have that much available no matter what. This is why I feel like 32GB of RAM is best for iGPU devices so what you could use 8gb of VRAM all the time.
