Feb 9, 2015 · In the B model, I set the config file to gpu_mem_512=256 in order to get more memory for the graphics. It works fine. If I type the command vcgencmd get_mem gpu it shows gpu=256M as requested. Now , with the Raspberry 2 model, there is …
up GPU proformance on pi 4 - Raspberry Pi Stack Exchange
Jun 20, 2020 · Pi4 has DDR4 RAM that runs WAY faster. Remove all those lines from config and reboot. Also, drop the overclock to CPU to 2100, and the GPU would be best at 750. 800MHz doesnt help much extra, and as you saw 850 or higher goes berzerk.

Raspberry PI 3 Increase Gpu Memory to 944
This is useless as you don't seem to run GPU RAM heavy OpenGL applications. You don't need more than 128MB GPU RAM to run videos smoothly as the hardware decoder will use only a fixed amount. So increasing it will not fix your issue. On the other hand you are reducing the RAM for the ARM CPU and therefore forcing it to use the Swapfile.
