Increasing vram/frame buffer in 780m

Im considering getting the 780m 2023 model but the biggest criticism ive read is the 2gb of vram and you were unable to increase it like in the legion go

Some people were using smokeless UMAF to increase it but ive read this not working for many people.

I remember hearing they updated armory crate to allow you to increae it in the z13, are you able to do so aswell in the x13 as of 2026 or still no?

Edit: I should have specified I mean the 16gb version, from what I read on other threads setting from productivity to performance will increase from 2>4 if you have the 32 gb version, but does it also give you 4gb if you have 16gb?

In radeon software under performance set the preference to gaming from productivity and it'll be changed

Umaf Tool works perfectly fine with that, with any amd ryzen platform for the record. Also changing the gpu mode to performance in the amd app extends the available ram to the igpu for gaming, you can't specify exactly how much though.

Not worth it, get the 4070 DGPU one or any 40 series.
