Windows 10: Task manager says GPU has less memory than it should

alx.nel · Jul 25, 2023

Hello,I have an RTX A2000 gpu, which I know comes with 6 GB of memory.However, when I look at task manager, it shows that it only has 5.5 GB of memory.I'm not sure what caused this, but I do know that it used to say 6 GB one or two days ago. Could it be because of a recent update? Because I did do an updateSo I guess my question is, what happened to that half a GB of vram? Is it reserved, or just missing for some reason?And perhaps, is it possible to "bring it back" to the full 6 GB somehow?Thanks.

:)

Task Manager says 287 MB of Memory is being used for Photos (2)

Win10 is running, and I am viewing the desktop, doing nothing with photos. Task Manager says Photos (2) is using 287MB of memory. Nothing is listed in the bottom list (File Explorer, Word, IE, etc.) that appears to be associated with photos except possibly Windows Media Player. Is this usage too high?

Why do I have Photos (2) instead of Photos?

Thanks, Jim

No restart button in task manager

another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.

GPU graph is not seen in task manager

Hi Sree,

You can now view GPU performance in the Task Manager in Windows 10 if you have a dedicated GPU, the Task Manager will show you performance stats for both the integrated and dedicated GPU since you just mentioned that you've already upgraded your PC to the Fall
Creators Update. But, since the GPU graph is not showing on your PC's Task Manager, there's a possibility that your computer wasn't meet requirements for GPU in the Task Manager. To know more about it, you may check this article:
