In Progress Shared Memory Issue

[haider]

I have an integrated graphics card that takes 15.9GB of shared memory out of 31.9GB RAM. Is it possible to reduce this and make it so that my main GPU gets 29GB of RAM and my iGPU receives like 2.9GB of RAM? Sorry if this is a silly question, I am not a PC specialist and greatly appreciate anyone who can help me out with this.

I did try to go into the BIOS to find how to reduce it but couldnt find anything. (Auros BIOS). There were no UMA settings and there was only a setting for Aperture which was set to 256MB.

You have asked for help but have told us nothing about your hardware​

Can you Download and run and then post.​

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.​

1. In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.
2. Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot dialog box. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.

The last part of each URL is randomized, so only people you provide with the URL will be able to find your profile.

The information given in Speccy cannot be used by anyone to hack your system

Is there something specific game etc you are having problems with?
Your graphics card comes with 16GB on board memory.
You are limited to what you can do in the BIOS.
You could try and have the graphics as the first display & disable the onboard graphics.
Or try the DVMT Pre- Allocated

GIGABYTE Intel 700 Series BIOS Setup

Normally it should use the ram as needed.
If you share too much ram from the MB it will degrade the performance of the computer.
This video kind of explains it.

and this

• VRAM (Video RAM):
  This is the dedicated memory on the graphics card itself, specifically designed for storing textures, models, and other visual data.
  
  
• Shared GPU Memory:
  This is a portion of your system's RAM that the graphics card can use when it runs out of its own VRAM.
  
  
• How it works:
  When a game or application requires more memory than the graphics card's VRAM can hold, the system will allocate a portion of the system RAM as shared memory for the GPU to use.
  
  
• Impact on performance:
  While this allows the GPU to handle more data, it can also lead to a performance decrease because system RAM is generally slower than dedicated VRAM.
