Q: intel hd 4000 vram 768mb

hi

i read the support article by apple saying that the vram of the new intel hd 4000 graphics card can be increase to 768mb of vram

does that happen when i upgrade the ram of my 2012 cmbp 2.3ghz with 16gb of ram?

i currently hav 8gb of ram in it and in the first 3 months i check with the system information i had vram of 512mb for integrated graphics

but recently i checked it again it only report saying my vram for my integrated graphics is only 384mb

may i know if my macbook pro is faulty?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Your Mac works properly. VRAM is increased when you add more memory to your computer, so you'll have 768 MB of VRAM after installing 16 GB of RAM in your computer

I have the same exact problem as you did you where the vram shows up as 384mb even though i have 8 gb of ram ddr3 of course. did your macbook pro come with 8 gb or did you add it. Im guessing that it came with it, just wondering. I also heard that people have had the same problem after the update, not sure which one im only going with the new 10.8.2 update for mountain lion.
