OS X Mavericks doubles the integrated graphic card VRAM. This is not a problem, and you may even notice better graphic performance

Unfortunately this is only true on the HD4000 GPU and

not the HD3000 GPU. Using Bootcamp and booting into

Win8.1 and windows allocates 1.6gig with 8 gig RAM

to the HD3000 but booting Mavericks still maxes out @ 512.
