Hello, hackintosh users,
I am using the @RehabMan laptop os x config for Intel HD 520. After kextcache I get 1536 MB graphics but my Intel graphics is 4 GB (4000 MB). Is there anyway I can make to to 4000 MB for full utilization??
Thanks for the reply @RehabMan , I went to every guide but didn't use the debug version of kext instead I use the latest release version of lilu.kext and Whatevergreen.kext from bitbucket. I followed the guide exactly for skylake 6 gen, now my ig-platform is changed to 0x00000000 and I can boot into hackintosh. (Looks like success ) but When I check VRAM into system info I get only 1536MB. please check my config.Your IGPU has no dedicated VRAM. It always uses system memory. 1536 is the Apple chosen value.
You can increase it by patching with WhateverGreen, but there is little reason to do so.
Refer to the guide here:

Thanks RehabMan!! You are the one in this forum which I expect my problem can solve!! Again one more question maybe I am wrong but my concept is :You have no setting/property patch for framebuffer-unifiedmem, so I'm not sure why you think it should be changed from the default.
hey could i know how you got 1gb vram im so desperate i only have 4mbThanks for the reply @RehabMan , I went to every guide but didn't use the debug version of kext instead I use the latest release version of lilu.kext and Whatevergreen.kext from bitbucket.

Bro I couldn't get my hd520 to boot either until I did what you suggested in opencore ig platform to 00000000 lmao . Thx bro I was wracking my brains for about 2 hrs trying different codes. Big sur is now installing hell yeah! Now hopefully It won't take top long to figure out my audio....Thanks for the reply @RehabMan , I went to every guide but didn't use the debug version of kext instead I use the latest release version of lilu.kext and Whatevergreen.kext from bitbucket.

not correct to set platform id to 0....Bro I couldn't get my hd520 to boot either until I did what you suggested in opencore ig platform to 00000000 lmao .

If its not correct then why did it work? It got me through the install and then i was able to try the same ids again and play around more with the setup. I changed the ID to the same correct one that was listed on whatevergreen that I tried before and boom full hardware acceleration baby! I'm also limited to 1536mb though. I tried adding the line that rehabman suggested but haven't quite dialed in the hex or whatever to up the mb on the video memory... I'm just happy that my laptop is blazing fast now running it.not correct to set platform id to 0....
