No. Only the G model. Jack E/NJ

There are some other laptops which are confirmed for 25w I guess Acer is just not one of them

@Levi21xD What do you mean by "some other laptops". The SF315-41G is 15w+25w. The SF315-41 is only 15w. Which model do you have, 41 or 41G? Jack E/NJ

Why did you feel the need to update the BIOS firmware? What problem were you having with the machine? Jack E/NJ

A user listed that vram options are unlocked from 256gb to 1gb.. and higher GPU clock speeds are included to select from

I also saw this on another topic, so I showed you the update! Has version 2.11 really unlocked these functions?

>>>A user listed that vram options are unlocked from 256gb to 1gb.. and higher GPU clock speeds are included to select from >>>

Did this user have the SF315-41(15w only) model or the SF315-41G(15w+25w) model? Jack E/NJ

@JackE See this link: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Swift-3-powered-by-AMD-Ryzen-gets-BIOS-update-to-remove-256-MB-VRAM-limitation.337766.0.html

Apparently... There wasn't that option .... IDK why... But it just isn't there... Anyway the vram is already 1gb ...it's been 1gb from the start.. so... No problem.... Just bummer cuz I was expecting cool settings

Excerpted from the link >>>However, in the case of an integrated GPU, the VRAM and the system RAM are one and the same. Therefore, for all practical purposes, it does not really matter as to what the VRAM limit is since there is only one memory type at play here. >>>

Not quite sure what the article means in practice. Does it offer the 15w to 25w switch in the 41 vs 41G? Jack E/NJ

Maybe this option is enabled when creating a password in the set supervisor password!
