the difference is in what is allocated to what and how much is present.

 

128MB is DEDICATED to the GPU. It can only be used by the GPU.

2.0GB is SHARED between the GPU and the CPU.

Sapphire - Radeon RX 550 - 640 4GB PULSE Video Card

will that have more dedicated memory? and is more dedicated memory better?
