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.
