Hello, so I have a Lenovo G50-80 i5-5200u with 4GB RAM and 500GB SSD. I'm curious about the amount of graphics memory available if I upgrade to 16GB RAM.

If you're using Windows 10, it's recommended to allocate 8Gb for the operating system. However, the iGPU is configured to utilize only the necessary memory, allowing you to assign up to 16Gb and let it consume as much as required. You're unlikely to encounter applications that demand such high VRAM anyway.
