    Good afternoon RJLICRUZ !

    What EXACT model of your laptop?
    Example: AN515-42-R5GT

    Are you referring to physical RAM or virtual RAM, which is targeted at GPU and APU?
    It is not possible to "install" VRAM.

    I was referring to Virtual RAM, was wondering if I can increase the value of RAM dedicated since I have 8GB of physical RAM installed

    No you can't increase VRAM but a Crucial 8gb RAM stick is usually around $35 on Amazon and it would be far more effective

    Please click YES if I answered your question

    The amount of RAM available is controlled by the system.
    So, with more RAM available, more features the system can unleash for the VRAM.
