How do I assign enough video memory to run 2 displays? Mac mini running 10.10.5 with a DVI monitor, adding a VGA monitor. Citrix message sats admin needs to assign more video memory
Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
For some Minis with integrated video the only way to add/assign more video memory is to add more system memory since the GPU uses system memory. However. that just works to a point and adding more system memory does not increase video memory
What model Mini and how much system memory do you have?
Regardless of what type of Mini you may have, there is no way for the user
to assign a specific amount of video memory. On those Minis with discrete
graphics chips, it is fixed and can in no way be changed. On Minis with
integrated graphics, it can only be changed by adding more RAM and the
amount allocated is set by the operating system and will limit to a certain
amount depending on what version OS X is installed and the integrated graphics
GPU.
