You might have to mess around with what's taking up your RAM in the background.

The iGPU is probably just holding 1GB of RAM in reserve, go into the BIOS and set it's VRAM to like 64MB, or just disable it.

@Crunchy Dragon google chrome is taking aprox 1gb 1,2 gb but i dont understand why it says i have 6.95 usable instead of 8

It's reserved for your GPU as it's built into the Ryzen chip, unlike add in PCI-e GPUs where its GPU memory would be on the card itself. ~ 1GB seems about right.

[WitcherSense]

@BlueChinchillaEatingDorito but look at this 

[WitcherSense]

@BlueChinchillaEatingDorito it says 2.8 in use but where? I only use 1gb and avaiable 4.1 so where is the rest ? 

[WitcherSense]

@Streetguru how can i check my VRAM? sorry for stupid questions guys im really not so good at using PC o

[KarathKasun]

Its the integrated graphics.  iGPU is still enabled in BIOS and its using 1gb of system ram for VRAM.

 

You can disable the integrated graphics in the BIOS/UEFI somewhere and it will free up that 1gb of system memory.

Windows itself will take up maybe 1 GB of memory. So if you add it all up, that seems pretty normal. 

 

~1GB for Chrome, ~1GB for Windows, ~1.1GB reserved for video memory + other I/O devices... so roughly 4.1GB available sounds about right. 

 

If you open Resource Monitor, you'll get a much clearer picture of allocated memory.

It'll be listed as Hardware Reserve. Of course, it'll be mixed in with other stuff memory is reserved for like sound cards, and other I/O devices which is probably why it's not exactly 1GB.

On a "normal" system with no integrated graphics the hardware reserved amount is usually 20-60mb.  1.1gb sounds a lot like 1gb integrated graphics memory + normal reserved amount.

It is as he's using the Ryzen 5 2400G APU. Already mentioned it in earlier posts!

Open Gpu-Z and CPU-Z and run a game windowed to see what your hardware is doing.

 

Did you put the new GPU in without uninstalling the drivers with DDU?

[WitcherSense]

@Streetguru i didnt changed GPU just processor,motherboard and Ram

Did you reinstall windows?

Does your GPU work fine in your old machine?

[WitcherSense]

Are you having issues in every game? Did it only happen after you changed the reserved VRAM?

[WitcherSense]

@Streetguru when i put new parts and reinstall windows then it started having fps drops i just checked for league of legends but my whole pc is like slower and laggy i literally watch youtube video and fps drops when i check facebook and come to yt video

Try a different or older driver maybe. You could be having some strange conflict with the iGPU, see if you can disable it immediately.

[WitcherSense]

@Streetguru yeah iGPU is already disabled but i will try with older driver now
