    Very low available physical memory vs. total physical memory.


    Brief summary: I have an ASUS laptop with 8GB of RAM installed. After noticing some performance issues even running one tab on Chrome (Roll20, a graphically-intensive website) with absolutely nothing else, I did some digging. It seems that my laptop only has about 3.38GB of its 7.88GB total memory flagged as "available". It's clear that this isn't Windows itself reserving memory for core processes, but rather something else allocating stupidly high amounts of memory inappropriately for itself.

    What I've attempted:
    -Yes, I'm on a 64-bit Windows operating system.
    -Seriously. I'm 100% certain it's an x64 system. I know x86 can only use 4GB. I super pinky promise it's 64-bit.
    -I've unchecked the "max memory usage" setting, with minor results (i.e. gains of ~200MB).
    -I've unchecked the "automatic pagefile size" management option, with minor results (similar to above).
    -I've searched the BIOS menu for anything pertaining to integrated graphics memory allocation to no avail. ASUS' BIOS has extremely limited (read: absolutely zero) advanced management options. There is one--yes, one setting under the "Advanced" tab that appears to toggle between 64MB and 32MB of dedicated VRAM--which I strongly feel is probably a button that does absolutely nothing except make the user feel a little more in control.
    -To reiterate: there are a grand total of maybe 12 options in the entire "advanced" BIOS menu, four of which pertain to the CPU and virtual system environments, the rest which seem to manage aspects of hard drive memory. Absolutely nothing in the entire BIOS refers to RAM, or graphical memory allocation.
    -A DXDIAG revealed that the integrated Intel graphics chip is allocated 4GB(!!) of maximum shared RAM, despite the fact that I have a rather nice 2GB dedicated NVIDIA GTX1050, and I strongly suspect that this is the culprit.
    -I have not been able to find any settings on either the Intel or NVIDIA software that allow me to adjust the maximum amount of memory allocated; only the obvious "use X graphics device for Y program" settings.

    I'm seriously at my wit's end here, folks. I'm praying that somebody, somewhere, knows how the hell I can tell my Intel graphics processor to cool it and let the NVIDIA card handle things (and hopefully free up some of my RAM).

    High installed physical memory, very Low available physical memory

    Got a new computer and my Installed Physical Memory (RAM) is 8.00GB whereas my Avaiable Physical Memory is 370MB.

    I game on my PC and I am getting very low FPS with many lag spikes in all of the game I play, I'm assuming this is the problem, but if anyone notices anything in my specs that could be effecting my pc performance, id appreciate some help <3

    Very low available physical memory vs. total physical memory.

    Virtual vs Physical Memory?

    I am running Windows 10. Physical memory [RAM] is 3 GB with 1.9GB available physical memory. Virtual memory is set at 5GB. Is this ratio of each type of memory ok for the Windows 10 set up?
