How much vram does the HD4000 have in the mini?

[Dixi1801]

I've had a little read and the 4000 seems ok, but I can't help but wonder about the vram on it.

How much does the 4000 have? And can it be raised from more ram, like the hd3000?

Thanks 🙂 hope you're all enjoying your new minis!

As far as I know, it's the same as the 3000 and tops out at 512.

interesting

does 16 gb of memory equal 1 GB to the graphics?
or does it stay at 512?

I just received my 2012 Mac Mini base today with 8GB of RAM. About this Mac reports 768 MB of VRAM for the HD4000. I don't know if that would go up with 16GB of RAM. Perhaps someone else will comment.

The Intel HD3000/4000 will scale to 1.7GB of VRAM.

My 8GB 13"MBP has 1.5GB of VRAM while running in 64bit Win7.
