Increase iGPU memory

[ShaneBunting]

Hi, I've heard talk on this forum on how people can upgrade RAM to allocate more of their memory to the Intel HD graphics.

I've got 16GB in my 13" Pro (2012 model), does this mean I will have more than the standard 512MB for my graphics?

If not, is this possible?

Thanks

The extra RAM is allocated automatically by the machine, from 384 to 512MB when you upgrade.

More RAM won't make the iGPU any less crappy though, that is not its bottleneck. It simply doesn't have much processing power.
