Dedicated GPU showing shared memory

[Shane Martin]

Hi all,

 

I currently have a GTX 1080 8GB in my main rig, along with a 1700x on a Asus Crosshair VI Hero motherboard.

 

In DirectX Diagnostic tool and in task manager, it is saying that it has 8GB of dedicated memory, 8GB of shared memory and 16GB of GPU memory in total.

 

 

 

The question is, how do I turn this shared memory off / reduced it to 0 please?

 

Kind regards,

 

Shane Martin.

Why would you turn it off? It only uses the system memory if the core GPU memory fills up; giving you more headroom overall.

 

As for turning it off I don't know how.

Shared memory is a windows feature, it won't get used? 

But yah totally don't use that shared memory, it is slow af.
