Unless you're running integrated graphics inside the CPU, adding RAM does not affect VRAM because VRAM is soldered to the graphics card. I dont think running integrated graphics with settings that need so much VRAM is realistic anyway

I don't have the game so I can't say for sure, but it might be because 8Gb is only allocated to the game or its launcher

What does the task manager "performance" tab show? And CPU-Z memory tab?

Is the RAM performing good everywhere else than in "Cold War"?

If so, no need. But just for a bit of information it would be good.

Unless you're running integrated graphics inside the CPU, adding RAM does not affect VRAM because VRAM is soldered to the graphics card. I dont think running integrated graphics with settings that need so much VRAM is realistic anyway

Vram is VIDEO Ram, so the ram your GPU uses. Upgrading or adding more regular Ram will not affect that. If you are hitting the Vram cap and it's giving you an error or a warning you would need to get a better graphics card with more Vram or lower your graphical settings in-game to get rid of the error/warning message.
