    What a bad name.
    *Game* means absolutely nothing. They should call it for exactly what it is. like maybe, UMA_4GB_VRAM

    Have you actually measured any performance difference?

    According to my understanding, there should be no performance difference at all (hardware should not care). If there is, it would be caused by games & applications treating the iGPU wrongly, as if it was a dGPU and hence using that value in wrong ways that improve or worsen the performance.

      No it’s on my to-do list now but I would imagine having pre allocated the ram for the GPU would reduce memory management overhead.

      It’s anecdotal but (on Linux at least) Steam in 4K locks up and the driver appears to crash with Auto but does just fine with the reserved 4GB.
