A new Intel GPU driver update can potentially unlock better performance on your gaming laptop. A new feature, labeled “Shared GPU memory override,” has been introduced that allows you to manually set how much of your system memory is set aside for VRAM, with the ability to dedicate up to 87% of your VRAM for gaming.

If you’re rocking a machine from our best gaming laptop guide with its own dedicated GPU, then you won’t need to worry about shared VRAM. This new setting makes gaming on an Intel iGPU a more appealing prospect, although it isn’t a miracle worker – it can’t turn an iGPU into an RTX 5090, after all.
