memory reserved by hardware

[ryzenuser]

i have Asus EX 320 gaming motherboard with AMD Ryzen 3 2200G processor and G.SKILL Ripjaws F4-3000C15D-8GVRB 8GB(1 x 8) ram , Zotac geforce GTX 1050Ti, the OS is Windows 10 64 bit , when i went to My Computer -> right click properties ->  i found RAM: 8GB(6.93 usable) and then when i went to task manager performance tab where i found 1.1 GB reserved by hardware, only 5GB was free without any application running on the background, 

Now please tell me how to utilise the full capacity of RAM, I don't know why 1.1GB is reserved, But my guess is because my RAM's (G.SKILL Ripjaws F4-3000C15D-8GVRB 8GB) speed is 3000MHz but my motherboard ( Asus EX 320 gaming) supports only upto 2400MHz may due to this mismatch the hardware reserves 1.1GB (or) AMD Ryzen 3 2200G processor contains an integrated GPU VEGA 8 graphics may be it might have take some portion of the ram for this IGPU, but when checked in Device Manager -> display drivers i found only GTX 1050 Ti drive which means IGPU is not active or reserving some memory (Please correct me  if I am wrong). So please share your thoughts and help me to utilise the full capacity of my RAM. 

 

Also please tell me if 5GB (available which i found from task manager performance tab) is enough for running all the games??

It has nothing to do with your ramspeed, but most likely that some portion of it is used by the OS (1GB) and the other portion might go the the APU, I've never used an AMD APU so I cant really tell how it would impact the RAM but only thing I can think of that would make some kind of sense.

Is 5GB (available which i found from task manager performance tab) is enough for running all the games(including recently released)??

It's a bit tight to be honest but it should be doable

your best bet is just triying out which games run smooth. RAM can be restrictiv but will see
