Q: Intel Iris Pro 5200 max VRAM
-

Unless the physically installed RAM has changed the VRAM should be unchanged unless a function of the OS X version. Possibly the amount you see is because that is all being used or because of the differences between how Mavericks and Yosemite use RAM.

But I have read that apple changed the amount of max VRAM for the Intel Iris Pro since the 10.9.3 Mavericks update and so my mac should show 1536 MB even on Mavericks, but it shows only 1024 MB. And several users of mavericks say that their mac shows 1536 MB VRAM. So that's why I'm wondering how this could be...
