trupetiago Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I installed the 1st generation intel video card on Yosemite following this guide ( [GUIDE] 1st Generation Intel HD Graphics QE/CI ) i enabled CI and QE. I have 1969MB of VRAM, however, on "About this mac"is showing only 288mb, what should i do in order to use the 1969MB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0000-1248 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'm pretty sure that Intel HD First Gen doesn't have that much VRAM. My Lenovo G560 has the exact same GPU and it displays 288mb as well. Not a glitch, just the drivers and OS X's support. Not sure if you can do anything about it. - Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duran Keeley Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I installed the 1st generation intel video card on Yosemite following this guide ( %5BGUIDE%5D 1st Generation Intel HD Graphics QE/CI ) i enabled CI and QE. I have 1969MB of VRAM, however, on "About this mac"is showing only 288mb, what should i do in order to use the 1969MB? Re-read the guide 2) VRAM This the amount of video ram that will appear in the About This Mac information. This is only cosmetic so this won't change the actual VRAM that OS X is allowed to use. VRAM,totalsize is written in hexadecimal format and the value that it represents is 288MB. You can copy and paste this code onto your DSDT: "VRAM,totalsize", Buffer () { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x12 }, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trupetiago Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 This is only cosmetic... I don't think so... Unity3D on windows run relative smooth but in Yosemite i can see only slides even on empty scenes. Thanks for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spakk Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 If your video card works with full graphic acceleration QE / CI, then the values are only cosmetic.... but if should work without graphic acceleration, then you have to work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trupetiago Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 I got it. Thank you. In the DVD player all features are enabled. However all the programs that uses OpenGL don't work, everything is rendered by software. Example: CInebench said: "There was an error in the OpenGL Reference image test". Is possible to fix something related with OpenGL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
