I don't need to download any CBS or IFR from it, I have the BIOS so can create my own, which I already did as we worked on this, for setup and PBS as well
Allocated video memory is not correct way to describe what you wanted, so my comment above was a little confusing I guess
UMA Buffer = Shared memory, not allocated, more like dedicated - But this maybe means same to you, depending on what you're looking at on windows side
No need to see video, I can see the CBS contents directly

We already changed what you wanted there, or at least I showed you how in post #13, but you never commented on testing the change
Since you used this method to change Turbo, do same for UMA as you originally wanted.

If you tried and it didn't work, try just change 0xD4 + 0xD5 >> FF FF >> Change to 00 02 = 512MB, and leave 0xD6 + 0xD7 FF FF << This is improper, only mention in case you wanted to try and below/proper failed or something
If that does not work, then do as I originally mentioned >> 0xD4 - 0xD7 >> 00 02 00 00 << BUT this "Should" be correct, and I would test first!

Get a flash programmer, then we can unlock your BIOS = Complete full Advanced, Power, reveal all hidden settings in CBS etc
Or, if you have not already, please see post #2, and see if you can dump/flash the BIOS via linked method at "Annex" section in post #1 << With this, we can flash in unlocked BIOS without programmer, if that will work on your system

Then windows is controlling whatever you are looking at this value in on windows side. What are you using, GPU-z, some windows system info, or what?
If you're looking at anything "Windows" such as system info, or task manager anywhere, it's always going to show a lot more than actual reserved, due to how win10 shares memory
Those values are not in actual use, or reserved, but it's based on a % of total installed memory and may appear to you as if it's being used.
For example, my graphics card is 4GB, but windows shows shared GPU memory 16GB and total GPU memory 20GB (DXDiag also shows similar)
I have 32GB memory installed, those numbers would all be different if I remove 16GB of memory

00 02 00 00 is the correct thing to set for 512MB.

Check what I mentioned on post #2, lets see if we can get you unlocked BIOS flashed in that way, if not you will need to order flash programmer setup.

What is your CPU model? It may always show that, no matter what you set.
Look at task manager >> Performance >> GPU (and look at bottom, area, you will see 3 values).
Check this with stock BIOS and then with changed values via RU - Does it look same there, both ways?

As for mod BIOS, then you will need to get flash programmer to flash in mod BIOS here
How exactly did method from post #2 not work for you?

So you can dump BIOS with flashrom, but cannot flash it back?

You make the backup with flashrom, then try to flash it back. ONLY files made with flashrom right then you flash with flashrom. If success, then I can edit that, then you flash it back.
I mention this due to how you said "backup" made me think you were trying to flash some other previous backup/file/BIOS etc.

What error do you get when trying to make the backup? Show me image
Obviously, if you cannot backup anything, then there is nothing to flash, so you should not have been trying to flash anything (AT ALL!)

You have to boot to USB/DOS first, then you can say that method does not work for you
So you never were able to attempt it, this is totally different than trying to backup or flash and it failing (like you said initially)

Use Win98 SE instead of Freedos then to make USB Flash drive. BIOS should be set to legacy mode (Secure boot disabled, BIOS password removed) also, then boot to MBR initialized FAT32 thumb drive.
You can also move USB drive to first in boot area of the BIOS. Sounds like you just do not know how to boot to USB is the issue, not that this method does not work for you.

Yes, will be 100% easier once you have programmer and figure out how to use that (we have guide)
Then you will just directly program in unlocked BIOS, after you dump BIOS and send to me so I can edit to unlock and send back.
Then you can change all this directly in the BIOS, and will see the same outcome (no change to what you're looking at, 2GB will remain, since you already changed this to 512MB and it did not change)

Hello everyone.
@Lost_N_BIOS Sorry to bother you. I have an extremely similar problem. Can I comment it here or should I open a new tread?
Thank you all.
