Rocky12 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 it,s up on you whether you are satisfied with your system or not or there are some important software update according to your system specifically your CPU chipset and exetra or you can just create another partition just for experimental purpose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirio Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 @Rocky12 I have a new question for you. Is it possible to increase the VRAM size? At least to 2048mb maybe? Actually I have 1536mb with my Intel Graphics 520. Everything works fine for regular use but if I use bigger applications it's not super fluid and this happens with some animations too. So is there a way to increase that amount of VRAM? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirio Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 @Rocky12 thank you so much for all these answers. All these videos are about Intel Graphics 2000/3000/4000, starting from 200-300mb of VRAM and trying to improve that so I'm not sure if this can work on Intel Graphics 520. I think I cannot get more VRAM with intel graphics only at this point. So what if I install High Sierra? Can I fully get my NVidia 940m 4gb fully working for getting better video performances and more VRAM? Or my system could still use the Intel Graphics HD only on High Sierra? I have this doubt since a lot of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the guide you sent me now it says 1536mb VRAM for my graphic card so I think that's the max value I can get, no way to get more... About High Sierra (latest mac os with nvidia drivers) do you think I could easily hide the Intel Graphics for using the Nvidia 940M only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
