How to dedicate RAM back to actual RAM instead of integrated graphics

I was using my PC with integrated graphics for a while and it dedicated 3gb to the integrated graphics. I have a graphics card now and I want to use all of my RAM now because I'm at 90%+ usage when I stream Warzone. Is there a way to do that? BIOS/UEFI maybe?

Yes, there should be a setting in the BIOS that allows you to configure the RAM used for the iGPU, and it should also allow you to disable the iGPU.

On most systems I've seen with iGPUs, the BIOS has an "auto" functionality and auto-disables the iGPU when you put in a dGPU and plug the monitor in the dGPU. Other than that, most BIOSes should offer a way to disable them.

i disabled it and it still shows 16GB (13GB usable)

In which case the motherboard is apparently not that intelligent. Try to decrease the VRAM in the BIOS, they usually have a setting for that very near to the iGPU enable/disable setting. Set it to the lowest value.

Would it be called the aperture size? (See photo attached)

That should be the setting, yes, but it's already set to what I believe is the lowest value. The rest would be dynamically assigned, which they can do by themselves. Other than that, I have no idea how to reduce that.

Yea the lowest was 128 and i tried that but still the same problem. Thanks though
