I was wondering if there was a way to change the amount of Shared Video Memory automatically allocated to my GPU.
ASUS Prime H310M-A
Intel i5-8400 @ 2.80 GHz
R9 380X @ stock settings
8GB Corsair DDR4 2400MHz Memory
Windows 10 Professional
It's currently allocating 4GB of Shared Video Memory.
This is problematic for me as I only have a single stick of 8GB Memory, and I need System RAM over Graphics Memory.
Due to this automatic 4GB allocation of video memory (total 8GB), it causes some applications to run into the paging file making them slower.
I've looked in the BIOS and I can't find any setting which could tweak this. Does anybody know how to change the amount of allocated shared video memory?
A page file will be used regardless if you disable shared memory function. You typically can do that within the firmware settings of the motherboard. – Ramhound – 2019-03-10T16:24:22.977
Shared memory is not necessarily allocated memory. It might be used if you run a particularly demanding game or GPGPU task, but chances are the memory is not used at all. You almost certainly have not been using the full 4GB. Where are you seeing this value for shared memory? – Mokubai – 2019-03-10T16:59:36.257
