iNeko Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Hey everyone, I was using Mountain Lion, and if I open 'About this Mac' menu, "Graphics" value was "Intel HD Graphics 4000, 512 MB". But... Today I've installed Mavericks on my MacBook Air 2012, and i noticed strange thing. It's not 512 MB now - it's 1024 MB. Mavericks made graphics improvements so it doesn't use a lot of vram now? Also games such as 'Minecraft', 'Black Ops' are working without fps drops, stable at 50-60 fps. ( @Mountain Lion it was 30-40, fps drops ). Or it is just me? ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokousic Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Intel HD graphics dynamically uses RAM as VRAM, it depends on available memory and/or driver/OS. So maybe the driver under new OS allows to use more RAM as VRAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donaldkepler Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Mavericks uses memory in a more smarter way rather previous Operating systems. And if the Mac is running as usual then there isn't any problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
