Windows 10: EXCESS RAM SHARING WITH DEDICATED GRAPHICS

Hello My machine came with 8GB of ram and 2Gb of dedicated graphics.I noticed that out of the 8GB of ram i can only access 5GB and the rest is used as shared video memory.This is greatly affecting my productivity and performance especially after upgrading to windows 11.Downgrading to windows 10 is not an option since even when i was at windows 10 i encountered the same issues My specs:Ryzen 5 3500uAMD Radeon Vega 8 2GB1TB of ssdI tried following some of the solution like making changes on advanced system properties but they were disable and nothing is present on the ramAny help will be app

How to increase the dedicated ram to graphics

Dedicated graphics RAM can not be increased, the amount of RAM on graphics cards is built in.

The only way is to install a new graphics card with more dedicated graphics RAM.

This relatively easy on a desktop, but on a laptop, virtually impossible.

 

Dedicated video ram

The only way to change the amount of system RAM that is allocated to an integrated graphics processor

is via the machines BIOS. The amount that can be allocated varies between machines.

"At least to 512 Mb."

Your post shows - Total Available Graphics Memory: 1792 MB- . This is the maximum amount of

RAM that is allocated for gaming,or doing other graphics intensive tasks, and includes the 32MB VRAM

(assuming this 32MB is a VRAM chip and not a small portion of the system RAM 'dedicated' to video).

So you should still be OK with the current 'dedicated 32MB' as long as you don't do heavy multi-tasking.

It would take some serious multi-tasking to use 12GB RAM.

The main difference here is the 'dedicated' memory may be a VRAM memory chip on the motherboard,

vs using a portion of the system RAM (shared).

VRAM is much faster than system RAM, but there is no way to upgrade this, whether using integrated graphics

or a dedicated graphics card.

- The other issue is some games do not recognise shared system RAM as an alternative to VRAM.

You are out of luck in this instance.

Dedicated Video RAM

Short answer... No.

Long answer. You cannot add more VRAM to a dedicated graphics card.

Machines that use Integrated graphics commonly have an option to allocate up to 2GB system RAM to games,

but this is not actually VRAM. Integrated graphics run via 'shared' system RAM and have no VRAM.

Dedicated graphics cards also make use of system RAM as a temporary storage for game data which can be called

on when required by the gpu (loading new areas or levels), but when dealing with the graphics settings in a

games setup only VRAM is taken into consideration, as this is what is in use in the part of the game you see on screen.
