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??
 
Hello, hackintosh users,

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 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 :clap::clap:) but When I check VRAM into system info I get only 1536MB. please check my config.

You have no setting/property patch for framebuffer-unifiedmem, so I'm not sure why you think it should be changed from the default.

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 :

I have 4GB graphics i.e. 4000 MB right, and according to @headkaze guide we can patch upto 2048MB i.e. 2 GB, can It be done to 4GB as I have Intel HD 520 graphics?? Also I have Radeon R5 M335 card is this now supported on Mojave or do we have any hack ??

I'm pretty sure you have no hardware acceleration.

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....

not correct to set platform id to 0....
 
not correct to set platform id to 0....
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.

Wifi
Bluetooth
Sound
Mic
Webcam
Keyboard mouse
It all works

If you want to help add value to the thread then tell me how I can hide the text crap on bootup that's the next thing I'm figuring out.
